Birds-eye view from summit of Mt. Washington; White Mountains, New Hampshire
Item Information
- Title:
- Birds-eye view from summit of Mt. Washington; White Mountains, New Hampshire
- Title (alt.):
-
Bird's eye view from Mt. Washington, New Hampshire
- Description:
-
Although entitled a bird’s-eye view, this colorful presentation provides a fish-eye or 360-degree panoramic perspective. It distorts the topography of Mount Washington from a single vantage point directly above the mountain. The mountain’s summit, with accurately delineated buildings and the approaching road and railroad, is the central focus. Everything else is distorted. The surrounding mountains appear in the distance as non-distinctive colored hills, but each is numbered and identified in corresponding lists in the map’s four corners. Published by the Boston and Maine Railroad, this artistic piece would certainly appeal to tourists visiting New England’s tallest landmark.
