Size (image) 46,6 x 68,7 cm (18 3\/8 x 27&#8243;).<\/p>\n<p>The bird\u2019s eye view perspective dates back to the early Renaissance with reference to its technique being made as far back as Roman times. \u00a0In Europe, the bird\u2019s eye view print surged in popularity in the late eighteenth century and \u201cballoon views\u201d became popular in the 1830s and 1840s. Although the 19th century bird\u2019s eye co-existed with early photography and the hot air balloon, most of their designs were based on mathematical formulas and numerous sketches made on the ground. Thus a bird\u2019s eye view may be seen as a visual blend of fantasy and historical fact.<\/p>\n<p>This lithograph portrays Philadelphia as a modern, industrial city with smoking chimneys and steam-paddle wheelers.<\/p>\n<p>The view is looking west from the Delaware River predominately showing the built city to the Schuylkill River between <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Center_City,_Philadelphia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center City<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/South_Philadelphia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">South Philadelphia<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Market_Street_(Philadelphia)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Market Street<\/a> runs down the center, right of the view.
