1872: HENRY R. FELL CO. EXQUISITE AERIAL MAP OF 1872 DOWNTOWN TRENTON AREA

It took quite a bit of PhotoShop tweaking and re-formatting to bring this incredible map of downtown Trenton as it looked nearly 150 years ago (actually 141). Due to the size of the map which covers the entire city of Trenton along with tantalizing views of the outlying more rural areas, I zeroed in on the downtown area. I have superimposed the colored view of Trenton's City Hall at State and Greene (Broad) Sts. as it appears in the original. This will allow the viewer to use it as a guide to the other streets in the scene.
