View of Mount Vernon, Jefferson County, I.L., 1881 / drawn & published by H. Brosius.

This panoramic print of Mount Vernon, Illinois was drawn by H. Brosius and published by Beck & Pauli Lith. Co. in 1881. Mount Vernon was a relatively small development until the mid-1800s when the Illinois Supreme Court relocated there.

From that point on, the community enjoyed the prosperity that court figures brought whenever court was in session.
