EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the first engraved plan of the city of Philadelphia, meticulously crafted by Thomas Holme in 1683. As one gazes upon this historical artifact, a sense of awe and wonderment is evoked, transporting us back to the early days of America's birth. Intricately detailed, this map offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the layout and topography of Philadelphia during its infancy as a bustling colonial settlement. With precise lines and delicate engravings, Holme's expertise as a surveyor shines through in every inch of this remarkable piece. The significance of this engraving cannot be overstated. It symbolizes not only the birthplace of American democracy but also represents an important milestone in cartographic history. This map served as a foundation for future urban planning and development within the city. As we examine each street and river depicted on this map, we are reminded that it was here where our nation's founding fathers once walked - Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and countless others who shaped America's destiny. Through this print from Granger Art on Demand, we are granted access to an invaluable piece of American heritage. It serves as both a testament to our shared history and an inspiration for future generations to continue building upon the foundations laid by those who came before us.
