Rare Books

B. W. Pierce notes lower left, "Finding it impossible to properly illustrate the whole city as seen from one direction, I found it necessary to make the view in two sections. The UPPER VIEW shows the city as seen from the Electric Power House, corner of Wilder St. and Central Ave. looking north. This section shows the business portion and is the main view. The LOWER VIEW shows all that part of the city not shown in the main view." Vignettes: Prominent buildings. "Printed by L. A. Litho. Co. Copyrighted by B. W. Pierce 1894." "Drawn & Lithographed by B. W. Pierce, Stimson Block." Prime meridian: GM. Relief: pictorial. Projection: Birds-eye view. Printing Process: Lithography. Other Features: Vignettes.
