1892 Bird's Eye Map of Atlanta Puzzle
500 piece puzzle featuring an 1892 Bird’s Eye Map of Atlanta. It measures 20X28" when assembled.
Augustus Koch was born in Prussia in 1840. He moved to the US before the Civil War where he served in The Corps of Engineers. After the war, he traveled to cities around the country and illustrated Bird’s Eye View maps from hot air balloons. In 1892, he tied off his hot air balloon near Grant Park and created this beautifully drawn map of Atlanta and the surrounding area complete with notable locations and street names.
If you are interested in a little history behind some of the locations you’ll find on the map, check out this document which we put together as a collection of the historical updates we shared with the Kickstarter backers when we first launched this puzzle.
