EDITORS COMMENTS
PHILADELPHIA, c1862: A Glimpse into the Historic Cityscape". This print takes us back to Philadelphia in 1862, offering a fascinating view of the city and its iconic landmarks. Engraved by John Serz, this exquisite piece showcases the rich history and architectural grandeur that defined Philadelphia during this era. From the majestic Academy of Music to the towering Cathedral and Continental Hotel, each landmark stands as a testament to Philadelphia's prominence as an American cultural hub. The Custom House and Post Office symbolize the city's bustling commerce, while Girard College represents its commitment to education. The image also captures key institutions such as Keneseth Israel Synagogue, Union League, University of Pennsylvania, and Waterworks – all integral parts of Philadelphia's diverse society. The presence of hospitals underscores the importance placed on healthcare even then. Notably absent from this scene are any signs of commercial use or modern development. Instead, we are transported to a time when ships dotted the harbor and Saint Paul's Church stood proudly amidst its surroundings. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable print with utmost precision and detail. It allows us to appreciate not only Philadelphia's historical significance but also Serz's exceptional engraving skills. This artwork is truly a window into another time – an opportunity for viewers to immerse themselves in 19th-century Philadelphia.
