EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Philadelphia in the late 19th century. The image captures the iconic Post Office building, situated at the intersection of Chestnut, Market, and Ninth Streets. The architectural beauty of this historic structure is evident as it stands tall amidst a sea of horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians going about their daily lives. The scene exudes a sense of energy and activity that was characteristic of urban life during this era. Taken by an anonymous American photographer in the 1890s, this photograph offers a glimpse into Philadelphia's rich history. It serves as an illustration for Fifty Glimpses of Philadelphia and Vicinity, a publication by Rand McNally in 1898. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how much has changed over the years while also appreciating the enduring charm that still lingers within these streets today. This print transports us to another era, allowing us to imagine what life was like for those who walked these very same sidewalks more than a century ago. With its intricate details and nostalgic ambiance, this image is not only a testament to American photography but also serves as a visual reminder of our shared heritage as Americans.
