EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Washington, D. C. in the late 19th century. The image was captured by an unknown photographer from Mathew Brady's Studio, located on Pennsylvania Avenue and 7th Street. From this vantage point, we are treated to a view looking towards Center Market, a prominent landmark at the time. The photograph showcases the architectural beauty of the era with its grand buildings lining Pennsylvania Avenue. American flags proudly wave in the breeze, symbolizing patriotism and national pride. The street scene is alive with activity as people go about their daily lives - shopping at various stores that line the avenue or waiting for transportation. A horse-drawn streetcar adds movement to the still image, highlighting one of the primary modes of transport during that period. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates life in America during this transformative time in history. Preserved within glass negatives from 1880-1890 at Library of Congress' Handy Collection, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into our country's heritage. While we may not know who specifically took this photograph or how it came into existence, its significance lies in capturing a moment frozen in time - an invaluable window into Washington D. C. 's past.
