Product description

Between 1871 and 1884 the American illustrator Herman Brosius drew 57 bird's eye view drawings like this, travelling from Texas to North Dakota to Ontario and back again more than once. This particular view of Belleville is reinforced by two vignettes: the recently-opened Ontario School for the Deaf at bottom left, and Albert College (est. 1857) at bottom right.
