EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Commercial Place, Norfolk, Va. between 1910 and 1920," transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Norfolk, Virginia during the early 20th century. The image, captured on a dry plate glass 8 x 10 in negative, showcases the vibrant urban scene teeming with horse-drawn carts and vehicles, making their way through the cobblestone streets. Horses, both in harness and free-roaming, are a common sight, adding to the charm of this bustling commercial hub. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of Norfolk during this era, with people going about their business, some stopping to chat or observe the activity on the streets. The diverse population is evident in the mix of ethnicities and backgrounds, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the city. The photograph's background is filled with a variety of storefronts, each displaying their wares, adding to the commercial energy of the scene. The image also offers a peek into the country's transportation history, with horse-drawn vehicles being a primary mode of transport at the time. This photograph, from the vast collection of the Library of Congress, is a testament to the past and serves as a reminder of the evolution of commerce and transportation in the United States. The image's timeless quality and intricate details make it a must-have for history enthusiasts, art collectors, and anyone interested in the history of Norfolk, Virginia, or the United States as a whole.
