Additional Information Produced by prominent American cartographer and lithographer Henry Wellge, this stunning depiction of Tallahassee, Florida, shows the iconic city in a period of significant growth and transformation. The State Capital of Florida, Tallahassee, has a rich history and unique culture since it became the Capital in 1824. Tallahassee has become recognized as one of the most important educational and scientific centers in the South. Wellge became known for his bird's eye perspectives, which were wildly popular from the middle of the nineteenth century until the 1920s. His depictions were renowned for their detail and featured prominent civic features to attract industrialists and workers alike. Residents and merchants would also display these illustrations in a show of civic pride. Florida joined the United States in 1845 after becoming an American Territory in 1821. During the American Civil War, Tallahassee was the only Confederate state capital east of the Mississippi to avoid being captured by Union forces and the only city to avoid any damages during the conflict. However, a small conflict did occur with the Battle of Natural Bridge just south of Tallahassee only one month before the conclusion of the war. By the late nineteenth century, the city had developed a bustling local economy and gained attention as a cultural center for the American South. Immigrants flocked to Tallahassee to establish communities and neighborhoods on distinct cultural lines, many of which exist today. The distinctive aesthetic and unique style immediately transport the viewer back in time, and this is an authentic price of American cartographical history. Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper. Shipped in a sturdy cardboard tube your print will arrive ready to be framed. This eye-catching vintage map reproduction print makes the perfect gift for anyone that loves history and imagery.
