The First Plan for Philadelphia - A Vision of Order and Progress
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the first plan for Philadelphia, meticulously devised by William Penn and Thomas Holme in 1682. The engraving, created by Drogenham in 1684, offers a glimpse into the early days of this historic city's development. The image portrays an intricate grid system that forms the foundation of Philadelphia's urban landscape. With its neoclassical and baroque influences, this plan reflects the ideals of order and harmony prevalent during that era. The Dutch edition of this map was printed in Amsterdam two years after its conception. As we delve into this piece of history, we witness the birth of a colonial settlement designed with precision and foresight. Each square block is carefully laid out along geometric streets and avenues, forming a cruciform pattern that extends to the banks of rivers and streams. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a deeper significance - it symbolizes not only the physical layout but also represents social history and colonisation efforts. This visionary plan embodies William Penn's vision for Pennsylvania as an ideal society where people could live harmoniously together. Today, as we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection at Free Library of Philadelphia Map Collection, let us appreciate how one man's dream transformed into a thriving metropolis known for its rich heritage and vibrant culture.
