Louisville, from the Blind Asylum, 1874. Creator: Nathaniel Orr
Louisville, from the Blind Asylum, 1874. The city of Louisville on the Ohio River, Kentucky, USA. Louisville...is a large, bright city, the pride of Kentucky. It was first settled by Virginians in 1773, and remained for some time under the protection of the mother-State; even now, to have been born in Virginia is a Louisville patent of nobility. The city is built on a sloping plane seventy feet above low-water mark, with broad streets lined with stately stone warehouses on and near the river, and beautiful residences farther back. From " Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1874]

EDITORS COMMENTS

Taken by Nathaniel Orr, this image showcases the city's grandeur and serves as a testament to its rich history. The photograph captures Louisville's position on the Ohio River, emphasizing its significance as a bustling river town. The cityscape is bathed in sunlight, illuminating its large and bright buildings that line the streets. Stately stone warehouses near the river symbolize Louisville's importance as a hub for trade and commerce. Beyond the commercial district lie beautiful residences nestled amidst lush greenery. These homes represent both elegance and prosperity, reflecting the pride of Kentucky itself. The sloping plane upon which Louisville is built adds depth to the landscape while providing an elevated view of this thriving metropolis. This print transports us back to 1874 when Louisville was still under Virginia's protection.
