Additional Information Known as the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution, Beverly, Massachusetts, remains an iconic suburb of Boston. Additionally, it was the site of the first cotton mill in America in 1787 and by the later portions of the nineteenth century had become a popular destination for residents looking to get out of Boston during the summer. This stunning depiction shows the city in a period of significant growth and transformation, though it would not be incorporated until 1894. Its geographic location on the North Shore of Massachusetts has attracted residents since the earliest days of North American settlement by immigrants from England and Western Europe. The area was first inhabited by Europeans as early as 1626, and the first ship commissioned by the United States Navy sailed out of the Beverly harbor in 1775 after being outfitted in Glover?s Wharf. By the end of the nineteenth century, numerous groups of immigrants were attracted to the region. They established communities and neighborhoods based along cultural lines, many of which exist to this day. The area maintained an essential manufacturing industry throughout the nineteenth and twentieth century, which attracted residents not only from Boston to the South but across America and Europe as well. Birds eye perspectives were widely popular during this period and served as marketing materials to entice residents and merchants alike, featuring prominent civic buildings, religious, cultural, and educational institutions, as well as geography attractions and other economic opportunities. The unique aesthetic of this illustration immediately transports the viewer back in time. Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper.
