EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1866, capturing a scene in front of the iconic Washington Hotel in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The wood engraving beautifully depicts an exterior street scene that exudes the essence of American life during this era. In this snapshot of history, we see men and women strolling along the sidewalk, dressed in their mid-19th century attire. The women elegantly hold parasols to shield themselves from the sun's rays while adding a touch of sophistication to their appearance. Some gentlemen can be seen leisurely smoking pipes as they engage in conversation on the hotel's veranda. The Washington Hotel itself stands tall with its grand porch adorned with an awning, providing shade for those seeking respite from the southern heat. Its presence serves as a testament to Vicksburg's prominence during this period. This wood engraving not only captures daily life but also offers a glimpse into society at that time - where people gathered outside hotels like these to socialize and enjoy each other's company. It transports us back to a different era, allowing us to appreciate both the architectural beauty of buildings like these and how people lived their lives amidst historical events. Granger Art on Demand has skillfully preserved this piece of history through their collection, reminding us of our roots and offering insights into bygone times without commercial intent or mention.
