Additional Information Produced by Minneapolis-based cartographer Henry Wellge, this stunning bird's eye perspective shows Minnesota's State Capital, St. Paul, in a period of significant growth, prosperity, and transformation. By the late nineteenth century, St. Paul had grown from a military outpost that was bolstered by fur traders into a bustling metropolis that served as the gateway to the great expanses of the North, which were granted further access by the establishment of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Railways, both of which were headquartered in St. Paul. Following derisive comments from a reporter in New York regarding St. Paul's long cold winter, the Saint Paul Winter Carnival was established in 1885 to demonstrate the city' resilience and fortitude. The annual tradition exists to this day and has become one of the city's most prominent events. The Capitol building in St. Paul was completed in 1882 and remains a central feature of the city's vibrant downtown and testimony to the city's prosperity at the time given its opulence and grandeur. The late nineteenth century saw St. Paul establish itself as a financial and commercial hub for the Northern-Midwest and Great Lakes region. Bird's eye perspectives were wildly popular from the late nineteenth century until the 1920s and bear a unique aesthetic that immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible link between the past and present. Wellge's illustration would have been used as a marketing tool to attract industrialists and workers alike. This is truly an authentic piece of American cartographical history.
