This print, titled "View of Ellicott's Mills, MD," offers a bird's eye perspective of the picturesque town of Ellicott's Mills, Maryland, dating back to approximately 1854. The image showcases a vibrant and industrious community, with various buildings and factories scattered throughout the town. Ellicott's Mills, located in Howard County, was named after the Ellicott brothers, who founded the town in 1772. The town's strategic location along the Patapsco River made it an ideal site for the establishment of numerous mills, including grist, saw, and paper mills. By the mid-19th century, Ellicott's Mills had grown into a bustling industrial center, as evidenced by the numerous structures depicted in this print. The central image of the print is dominated by the Patapsco River, which winds its way through the town, providing power to the mills and serving as a vital transportation route. Surrounding the river are a variety of buildings, including the impressive stone structures of the grist mills, the red-roofed houses of the town, and the tall smokestacks of the factories. The intricate details of the buildings and the careful rendering of the landscape demonstrate the skill of the printmaker. This print provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the daily life and industry of Ellicott's Mills during the mid-19th century. It serves as a reminder of the town's rich history and its significance as a center of industry and commerce in Maryland.
