Nineteenth century Americans hungered for pictures of their country, and among the numerous images they bought the views of cities and towns were the most popular. With the advent of lithography in the 1820's these views could be made cheaply and in large quantities; nearly 4,500 different views of over 2,400 cities towns are known to have been produced by the first decade of the twentieth century. In a monumental undertaking which remains the standard reference work on the subject, John Reps has gathered information on virtually every known view and provided that information in the form of a union catalog that will be invaluable to anyone interested in 19th century American. Never before has access to this pictorial resource been possible with such ease.
