Description

Fine early lithographic view of Laurel Hill, published in New York and Paris by Goupil, then the world's largest publisher or decorative engravings.

Augustus Theodore Frederick Adam Köllner, born in Wurttenberg in 1812, worked as an artist, engraver and lithographer in Stuttgart and Paris before emigrating to America in 1839, where he settled in Washington. In Washington he worked as a draftsman and made drawings of American scenery. In 1840 he moved to Philadelphia.

Köllner achieved considerable success in Philadelphia as a lithographic artist, traveling the country making scenic drawings, including a number of views of Philadelphia.

Goupil, Vibert & Co. arranged to publish a series of Köllner's views beginning in 1848. Despite Köllner's ability as a lithographer, the New York and Paris publisher had the prints both lithographed and printed in Paris.

Fifty-four prints were published by Goupil, including this and six other views of Philadelphia.

Extends from the Saquesahanoug R in the North to Pomejok and C. de Trafalgar in the South, and inland along the Powhatan R and Toppoahonoc R. Jamestown is located, as is Smythe's Island? A nice example, from the first edition of Mallet's work.
