In November 1870, Picturesque America was launched by American publisher Appleton & Co. as a "series of papers… consisting of splendidly-executed views of the most unfamiliar and novel features of American scenery." Over the next four years, nine hundred images and hundreds of thousands of words were sent out, by subscription, to a large audience.
Applewood's Picturesque America series are made from the images and words of hope sent out over a century and a half ago.
