Summary

[edit]
Description

Bird’s Eye View of Saint Boniface, Manitoba [map]. Scale not given. J.J. Stoner, Madison, Wis. Beck & Pauli Lith. Milwaukee, Wis., 1880.

This remarkable image of St. Boniface was made in late 1879 by American cartographer Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler (1842-1922). Over the course of a 54-year career, Fowler made hundreds of such “bird’s eye” maps throughout the northeastern US states. During a visit to Manitoba, he also made maps of Emerson and Morris, as well as Winnipeg across the Red River. When his Winnipeg map went on sale in February 1880 (at a cost of 50 cents a copy), the Manitoba Free Press noted that “a good deal of labor has been expanded in producing it, and the details are very correct, every building and street being properly located and recognizable.” Fowler was employed by J.J. Stoner of Madison, Wisconsin who, in the mid- to late-nineteenth century, specialized in making city panoramas. These views were typically a combination map and aerial image, sketched from about 2,000 feet aloft in a hot air balloon. Whether Fowler used a balloon to draw his Manitoba maps is unknown; he may have simply extrapolated from ground maps.(Laliberte, Larry. 2008. “Picture the Map: An Online Cartographic Collection of Manitoba History Using Flickr.” Manitoba History, no. 57, February, p. 29-32.)
