Bird's Eye Views
Three of Brattleboro's bird's eye views are included. |
| The 1856 view by John Batchelder shows a romantic view of Brattleboro, with a solitary
hunter overlooking the town from the slope of Wantastiquet
Mountain. |
 |
|
The 1876 view, by Bailey & Hazen, shows the downtown area
from an almost vertical viewpoint - as if the artist were in a
balloon suspended above Brattleboro.

The 1886 view shows a much more
developed Brattleboro. The author, Lucien Burleigh, was also the
author of views of nearby Hinsdale, NH, and Bellows Falls, VT. |
