#AceHistoryDesk – Pioneering panoramic map artist Albert Rugerdied on November 12, 1899, in Akron, Ohio: Born in Prussia in 1829, Ruger emigrated to the United States where he initially worked as a stonemason.

While serving with the Ohio Volunteers during the American Civil War he began drafting views of Union campsites for publication……These views show the camps from overhead, as if the observer were perched on a nearby mountaintop, or floating by in a balloon.

After the war, Ruger settled in Battle Creek, Michigan, where he set to work sketching bird’s-eye views of Michigan cities. Ruger was the first artist to achieve real success as a panoramic cartographer, and by the late 1860s he had joined forces with Joseph J. Stoner (maps by Ruger & Stoner) of Madison, Wisconsin, his sometime publishing partner. Over the next three decades Ruger produced panoramic maps of towns and cities in twenty-two states—from New Hampshire to Minnesota and as far south as Alabama. 

Panoramic mapping is a type of cartography in which towns and cities are drawn as if viewed from above at an oblique angle. The resulting images—known variously as bird’s-eye views, perspective maps, and aero views as well as panoramic maps—became especially popular in late nineteenth century America. Many of these maps promoted local civic projects, or served as advertisements.

Improvements to printing technology allowed the easy production of beautiful color views, while urban growth across the United States led to a new demand for local imagery. Although panoramic artists abandoned restraints of scale to illustrate street patterns, individual buildings, and major landscape features in legible perspective, the details themselves were often still quite accurate and fascinating.

The 213 Ruger maps owned by the Library of Congress come largely from the artist’s personal collection, which was purchased by the Library in 1941.
