Engravings from
Magee's Illustrated Guide
of Philadelphia
and the Centennial Exhibition.

Richard Magee & Son, Philadelphia., 1876.

This volume, from my personal collection, has a number of wonderful engravings. I have not scanned all of them, but instead focused on those relating to the city's creeks and rivers, as well as Fairmount Park and the Water Works.

The "Map of the Port" was scanned in one piece, but the second map in this group, showing the Centennial Grounds, was scanned in several pieces which I pieced together as closely as I could.

If you are interested in high-resolution scans of any of these images, please contact me for information.
