Description

View of Washington, D.C., 1892 / drawn & published by Currier & Ives.

This birdï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s-eye view print of Washington, DC was drawn and published by Currier & Ives in 1892. Our nationï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s capital city was first organized in the late 1700's along the Potomac River. Washington DCï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s bid to host the Columbian Exposition of 1892 was lost to Chicago, as that city was rebuilding. Washingtonï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s proposal did succeed in the materialization of a new zoo at Rock Creek Park.

Washington DC was a growing capital city in the 1890s as modern improvements continued, and manufacturing and business opportunities arose. The city streets were now paved and ready for the future. Washingtonï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s population reached 230,392 in 1890.

The illustration from above the Potomac River, looking north, shows the capitol building, government buildings, streets, railroad routes and waterfront activity.
