Description
A beautifully illustrated antique, vintage map from the year 1870, of an aerial view looking South East over the city of Akron, Summit County, Ohio. This wonderfully nostalgic piece of history is from the Public Domain, and was drawn by A. Ruger, lithography by Chicago Lithographing Co. and published by Ruger & Stoner of Madison, Wisconsin. Also included, below the map, are individual illustrations of Buckeye Mower & Reaper Works, Carver's Academy of Music, Akron Knife Works, Baldwin's Masonic Temple and Post Office and Excelsior Mower & Reaper Works and a reference list of prominent manufacturers, public buildings and churches in the area at the time. This reproduction map has been restored, converted to sepia tone and has hand blended textures.
