Brosius, Herman
Herman Brosius (April 8, 1851 - February 18, 1917) was a German-American bird's-eye view artist active in the late 19th century. Brosius was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he began his career as a wood carver for Matthews Brothers Furniture. His first bird's-eye views begin appearing around 1871, with his map of Darlington, Wisconsin. His corpus includes more than 60 maps, covering much of the United States, including cities in Louisiana, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia. His twin brother Frederick 'Fritz' Brosius (April 8, 1851 - September 30, 1909) was a prominent lithographer closely associated with Milwaukee Lithographing and Engraving (fl. c. 1872 - 1920), founded by Henry Seifart (1852 - 19??). Brosius died in Chicago in 1917.
