Hand-numbered edition of 200
From the lasting Massachusetts nation, to early French and English adventurers, to colonizing English Puritan refugees seeking religious freedom in new lands like William Blackstone and Isaac Johnson, to American Independence, Boston has transformed itself over time to become a diverse and storied city on the bay.
The strategic location of this land, its stunning natural harbour, fought over by three nations, cannot be understated and has served the city as a major shipping hub, lush resource of natural materials, and early gateway to American liberty, expansion, and exploration.
The map features four ages of our great city:
· Colonization, 1620s-1800s: Refugees seeking religious freedom in a new land
· Legitimization, at 1804: A new city made to cradle the liberty of a new nation
· Reclamation, at 1869: Expanding new lands from an old sea and marshy swamps
· Reintroduction, at 2025: A return to culture as “The Athens of America”
