Dover, Delaware.

1 pieces

Dover is a small colonial capital with a green at its centre surrounded by brick buildings from the eighteenth century. Flat farmland runs out in every direction, a river reaches to the bay, marshes fill with migrating birds in spring, and a motor speedway sits incongruously at the edge of town. The state was the first to ratify the constitution and says so on the plates. The green here was laid out in the seventeenth century and the state assembly has met on it ever since, which makes it one of the oldest continuously used public spaces in the country. The pieces here come as prints, ornaments and more.
