Bird’s-eye view of Ottawa (1876)



This was another very popular type of map from the 1850s to the 1920s. The view shows the whole town as if seen from the air. This view of the new capital reflects its beauty and dynamic force. Many towns in Canada, big or small, were depicted in this form. Was engraved by H.Brosius in Chicago.
