This is a reproduction print of a historical map of Philadelphia, created by O.W. Gray and Frank A. Gray in 1883. The detailed map depicts the city’s streets, districts, rivers, parks, railways, and major urban features during a period of rapid industrial and population growth.
The map prominently shows the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers, extensive railway networks, bridges, and Philadelphia’s detailed urban street grid. An inset, Outline Map of the County and City of Philadelphia and Vicinity, provides a broader view of Philadelphia County and the surrounding townships and transportation routes.
Originally published as part of a national atlas, this 19th-century Philadelphia map poster offers a fascinating view of the city during the Gilded Age and makes a distinctive piece of historical wall art for Philadelphia and American history enthusiasts.
