Cincinnati: A Panorama Of The Queen City from Covington’s Riverfront In 1866

$2,100.00

Roebling’s fine bridge got off to a sluggish start, apparently bedevilled by a shortage of funds. Then came the interruption of the Civil War before completion was finally rushed in order for the opening to take place in 1867. This view shows the Landing customarily crowded with riverboats of all types and sizes, with the Covington ferry still in busy use. As well as a panorama of the very heart of Cincinnati and its Public Landing, at the height of the city’s prominence as a major river port.
