SECOND ST. PHILADELPHIA - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the streets of Philadelphia in 1799, offering a nostalgic view of Second Street as it stretches north from Market Street. The line engraving by William Birch & Son beautifully captures the essence of this bustling American cityscape. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see men and women going about their daily lives on foot, while an equestrian gracefully rides through the street. The architectural details are remarkable; balconies adorn the buildings, adding a touch of elegance to the scene. Our eyes are drawn towards Christ Church standing proudly in the distance with its majestic spire reaching for the heavens. The image transports us to a different era, where horse-drawn carriages were a common sight and pedestrians strolled along cobblestone streets. It is a reminder of how much our cities have evolved over time. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we can't help but appreciate both the artistry behind William Birch & Son's engraving and its significance as a visual record of Philadelphia's past. This print serves as a window into history—a testament to how far we've come while cherishing our roots.
