L'Arc de Triomphe, Paris, Vintage Print 1840


L'Arc de Triomphe, Paris, Vintage Print 1840

Posted By on at Dreamgifts

This poster features a reproduction of a print of L'Arc de Triomphe, Paris, France in 1840.

The print features well dressed citizens strolling in the open square below the monument. Two men are on horseback and a carriage containing passengers is drawn by a pair of horses. The print is characterized by a golden hue.

Although it is entitled Paris Daguerrotype No 40 L'Arc de Triomphe, it may not be a photographic daguerrotype as the long exposure time required would have led to most of the people and carriages in movement at the foot of the monument not rendered in the scene.

Niagara Falls New York State Vintage Map 1885 Poster


Niagara Falls New York State Vintage Map 1885 Poster

Posted By on at Dreamgifts

This poster features a detailed color map of the Niagara Falls and the adjacent towns and features on both the American (New York State) and the Canadian side (Ontario), published in 1885.

The map shows the Niagara river flowing from east of Grass island, over the waterfalls separated by Goat Island. Street maps for the towns of Niagara Falls and Clifton, and railway lines for Michigan Central and New York Central are shown in detail.

The map provides a fascinating insight to the populated areas beside this famous landmark at the turn of the 19th Century. A small map inset shows the falls in relation to Buffalo to the south and Lake Ontario to the north.

Vesuvius, An Active Volcano in 1832, Italy Poster


Vesuvius, An Active Volcano in 1832, Italy, Poster

Posted By on at Dreamgifts

This poster features a reproduction of a vintage color plate showing Mt Vesuvius as an active volcano in 1832. The view is of the peak several miles from the crater, from the path behind the hermitage. A plume of smoke rises from the crater. Men on horseback and on foot are on the path in the foreground.

Mt Vesuvius, about 9 kilometres (5.6 miles) east of Naples, is best known for its eruption in AD 79 that destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.  Since the eruption of 79 AD, Vesuvius has erupted many times with volcanic activity throughout the 17th Century onwards.

The year 1832 wasn't notable for major volcanic eruptions but as the print shows the volcano was active. The print is a reproduction of one of the plates in Sketches Of Vesuvius, With Short Accounts Of Its Principal Eruptions, published in Naples in 1832.
