Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The collection consists of 48 lithographs of Carl Schuchard's drawings made during the A.B. Gray Survey of 1854. Twelve of the lithographs were completed by Bien and Sterner Lithographers in New York and 34 by Middleton, Wallace and Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. The lithographs depict scenes along the route of the survey, which sought a possible route for a southern trans-continental railroad. These scenes represent some of the earliest depictions of the territory newly acquired from Mexico as a result of the Mexican-American War, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and the Gadsden Purchase.
