Description :

A framed vintage-style illustration depicts the Birds Eye View of the City of Olympia, identified in the caption as the Capital of Washington Territory.

A.L. Bancroft & Co, Lithographs. San Francisco. Artist E.S. Glover of Portland, OR

Rendered in soft green tones, the artwork presents a panoramic bird’s‑eye view of the city as it once appeared—surrounded by waterways, rolling hills, and dense clusters of trees.

Buildings, streets, and shoreline details are drawn with fine, historical cartographic linework, giving the piece the look of a 19th‑century map or lithograph.

The overall effect is both artistic and archival, capturing Olympia’s early landscape with a sense of depth and quiet nostalgia.


Dimensions : 41.5 in L x 28.25 in H
