Etchings of Trenton

George A. Bradshaw

The etchings in this collection depict a wide range of Trenton locations, including:

  • Industrial districts and canal systems
  • Streets and residential neighborhoods
  • Churches, synagogues, and meeting houses
  • Civic buildings and municipal spaces
  • Transportation corridors and riverfront scenes

Collectively, these images trace Trenton’s growth from a canal‑powered industrial city to a modern urban center. Many of the scenes Bradshaw depicted no longer exist in their original form, making the etchings invaluable as historical records as well as works of art.
