Description: Bryant02_23 1872 Bryant print MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, #23 Nice view titled City of Milwaukie, from steel engraving with fine detail and clear impression, nice hand coloring, on heavyweight paper, approx. page size is 31.5 x 23.5 cm, approx. image size is 22.5 x 14 cm. From William Cullen Bryant's Picturesque America, published by D. Appleton & Co., New York. William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878), the distinguished American poet and editor, practised law until 1825 when he switched avocations and became editor and finally owner of the "Evening Post". In 1872 he edited "Picturesque America" and was responsible for choosing artists rather than photographers to interpret the beauty of America. This beautifully executed steelplate engraving, exemplifies the high point of 19th century intaglio printing and is a testament to William Cullen Bryant's genius. Milwaukee Milwaukee is the largest city in Wisconsin and 23rd largest (by population) in the United States. It is the county seat of Milwaukee County and is located on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan. As of a 2007 U.S. Census estimate, Milwaukee had a population of 602,191. Milwaukee is the main cultural and economic center of the Milwaukee–Racine–Waukesha Metropolitan Area with a population of 1,739,497 as of 2007.[4] Milwaukee is also the regional center of the seven county Greater Milwaukee Area, with a population of 2,003,218 as of 2007. Milwaukee has a rich European history. The first Europeans to pass through the area were French missionaries and fur traders. In 1818, the French-Canadian explorer Solomon Juneau settled in the area, and in 1846 Juneau's town combined with two neighboring towns to incorporate as the City of Milwaukee. Large numbers of German and other immigrants helped increase the city's population during the 1840s and the following decades. Once known almost exclusively as a brewing and manufacturing powerhouse, Milwaukee has taken steps in recent years to reshape its image. In the past decade, major new additions to the city have included the Milwaukee Riverwalk, the Midwest Airlines Center, Miller Park, an internationally renowned addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum, and Pier Wisconsin, as well as major renovations to the Milwaukee Auditorium. In addition, many new skyscrapers, condos, lofts, and apartments have been constructed in neighborhoods on and near the lakefront and riverbanks.
