London-based John Carwitham's engraving of Boston, based on a much larger painting done by William Burgis in 1723, captures a view of the city as it would have appeared from Castle Island sometime in the mid-1730s, showing a stretch of waterfront from South Battery to the North End. Notable locations depicted in the engraving include the Long Wharf, Fort Hill, and the Trimount or Trimountain, the city's primary hills, the sole surviving one being Beacon Hill. Carwitham also opted to include buildings that were not yet erected when Burgis painted his canvas of Boston, including the Old South Meeting House and Hollis Street Meeting house, both constructed in 1731. The numerous ships positioned in the engraving's foreground reflect the city's growing importance as a colonial port, which increased in the years that followed.
