Antique 1883 South End, Boston Massachusetts Map from G.W. Bromley Atlas – South of Washington, Worcester, Franklin popular Square Medical Campus MA
Beautiful antique map of the South End & South of Washington.
Beautiful, antique map of the South End & South of Washington Neighborhoods of Boston, Massachusetts. This is an authentic map (Plate M) taken from G.W. Bromley's "Atlas of Boston City Proper" published in 1883 and NOT a computer reproduction.
See what Boston looked like more than 135 years ago, before South Bay was filled in. Lots of charming, intricate details and contours, including main streets, rivers, gardens, squares, houses and the names of property owners at the time. Hand colored. Verso is blank.
Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.
