Washington The Beautiful Capital of the Nation

This is a great vintage tourist advertisement by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad showing a birdseye view of Washington, D.C. The expansive view of Washington, supposedly the result of two years of ground surveys and sketches, shows many features of the city in minute and fabulous detail. While the claims of the map that it was made by "the greatest Bird's-Eye View artist in the country," that "This Aero View of Washington is the most remarkable map picture that has ever been made" and that "No map view of this vast and comprehensive nature has ever been made of any City" may be subject to some debate, it is indisputable that this is a great map of the American capital.
