EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 19th century, specifically to Boston's historic Beacon Hill in the year 1811. The image showcases Beacon Hill as seen from the present location of the reservoir, nestled between Hancock and Temple Streets. It is a lithograph created in 1858 by Granger Art on Demand, based on an original drawing by J. R. Smith dating back to 1811. The scene depicts a bustling cityscape with its neoclassical architecture dominating the skyline. The Massachusetts State House stands proudly atop Beacon Hill, its grandeur accentuated by a towering column that symbolizes strength and resilience. Surrounding it are other buildings that contribute to this vibrant early American metropolis. What makes this print even more intriguing is knowing that it captures a moment during excavation work taking place at that time. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we can almost imagine witnessing laborers diligently digging beneath these streets, unearthing layers of history. Granger Art on Demand has masterfully preserved this piece of Americana for us to appreciate today. Through their meticulous reproduction process, they have ensured that every detail remains intact – from the intricate architectural features to the charm of Hancock Street and Temple Street. This print serves as a reminder of Boston's rich heritage and invites us to reflect on how much has changed over two centuries while appreciating what still remains in one of America's most iconic neighborhoods - Beacon Hill.
