EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed illustration takes us back to the bustling streets of Philadelphia in 1860. Captured by an anonymous American artist, this coloured engraving is a part of Baxter's Panoramic Business Directory of Philadelphia. The image showcases Third Street, specifically the east side between Race and Vine Streets. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported to a time where commerce thrived on every corner. The facades of various wholesale businesses line the street, each with their own unique offerings. From Jordan & Bro. Grocers at number 211 to Wm. S. Stiles' Wholesale Candy store at number 263, this directory provides a glimpse into the diverse range of goods available during that era. The attention to detail in this illustration is remarkable; it allows us to appreciate not only the architecture but also the signs and advertisements adorning each establishment. It's fascinating how these businesses were identified by their trade - whether it be clothiers, alcohol manufacturers, hardware stores or rag warehouses. This print serves as a valuable historical document that captures both the economic landscape and architectural beauty of Philadelphia in the mid-19th century. Thanks to institutions like Free Library of Philadelphia for preserving such treasures from our past!
