Reading Note
Reading Albert Ruger through attribution
Louisville 1876 fix Albert Ruger to specific cities and years instead of leaving the maker buried behind the subject. That matters because bird's-eye views often foreground the civic scene and leave the working hand in the margin.
Even with one published sheet, the page keeps authorship visible and lets the print be read through its maker as well as its place.
