Norfolk: Birds-Eye-Views, 1897 and 1892 -Yours for the Taking

[NW Mailing List]

Comrade Yanos von Garner, the Burgermeister of Newport, Giles County, Va, generously posted to this list two links leading to old (1873 and 1892) birds-eye-view drawings of Norfolk and its railroads.

I grabbed those two items from the L.C. (Library of Congress,) took them into Photoshop, cleaned up the colors and other things, and removed the center fold-crease from the 1892 item.

The cleaned up versions of both items are now up on Google Drive for your taking, at the link below. For each of the two drawings, there is a PDF cropped to 24" width. For each there is also an edited but uncropped 48" wide version in PSD (Photoshop) format, but the PSD files are approaching one-quarter of a Gig each in size.

Enjoy.
