Trochsler, Albert (A. Trochsler and Company)
Albert Trochsler (November 2, 1830 - 1895) was a French-American engraver and lithographer active in Boston in the second half of the 19th century. Trochsler was likely born in France. He emigrated to the United States in 1854 and was naturalized in Boston in 1868. Trochsler published as 'A. Trochsler and Company' from offices at 116 Washington Street and later at 282 Washington Street, Boston. His son, Albert E. Trochsler, apprenticed under him and may have taken over the family business.

It reflects the changing face of the city, as older buildings were being demolished or replaced to make way for more modern structures, including rail stations and museums. Notably, the main image prominently depicts a team of African American workers building a ship in the foreground. (more details)
