Crosby, Charles H.
Charles H. Crosby (c. 1819 - 1896), often as C. H. Crosby or Chas. H. Crosby, was an engraver, lithographer, and printer based in Boston, Massachusetts. He initially went into business with Emery N. Moore (1816-1890) as 'Moore and Crosby' until the firm dissolved in 1856 and Crosby bean his own business, 'C. H. Crosby and Co.' Crosby printed a variety of paper products ranging widely in size (from business cards to large prints) and technique (both engraving and lithography). He was especially known for his use of oil-based paint that lent a rich coloration to prints.

This is a rare 1860 Anson J. Stone real estate map of Hyde Park, now the southernmost neighborhood in Boston. It presents the area when it was rapidly developing as a suburban escape from crowded Boston, well-situated on two rail lines. Hyde Park was also notable at this time for its connections with the abolitionist movement and the post-Civil War civil rights movement. (more details)
