EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the very beginnings of Baltimore, Maryland. The scene depicts a significant moment in history - the founding of Baltimore Town on January 12,1730. Colonial surveyors can be seen meticulously laying out the town's layout, marking the birth of this iconic American city. Hand-colored with exquisite detail, this woodcut print by F. B. Mayer transports us to the 18th century and captures the essence of that time. It beautifully showcases both Native American and colonial influences that shaped Baltimore's heritage. As we gaze upon this vintage artwork, we are reminded of Baltimore's rich history as a southern sea port and its crucial role in early America. The illustration evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when colonists sought new opportunities along these shores. The image also highlights the importance of surveying in establishing colonies during this period. Surveyors were instrumental in mapping out ports like Baltimore Harbor, which played a vital role in trade and transportation throughout North America. With its vibrant colors and attention to historical accuracy, this art piece not only celebrates our nation's past but also pays tribute to Amerindian cultures and their enduring influence on our shared heritage
