Henry Wellge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry Wellge (1850-1917) was a lithographer in the United States. He produced panoramic maps.[1][2] He had an office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Some of his maps were published by Norris, Wellge & Co., others by Henry Wellge & Co. or the American Publishing Co.[3]

His view of Bangor, Maine depicts the era when sail and steam power were both in use on the Penobscot River.[4]

Wellge was one of five men who produced more than half the panoramic maps in the Library of Congress' collection.[5]
