This is a rare 1876 chromolithograph bird's-eye view of Norwich, Connecticut, by Oakley Hoopes Bailey. Centered on the conjunctions of the Yantic, Shetucket, and Thames Rivers, the view looks northwards towards Norwich from a fictive high point just to the south. It illustrates Norwich early in the industrial revolution, with paddlewheel steamships competing for space on the river with sailing ships. Holly Hock Island is here a place of industry, with large factories billowing black smoke. Forested bucolic hills fade off into the horizon. (more details)
