EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Main Street in Rochester, New York, circa 1897. The image captures the essence of a bustling boomtown that was once inhabited by the Seneca tribe until their claim was relinquished in the Treaty of Big Tree. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot, we are transported to a time when horse-drawn carriages traversed the streets and pedestrians strolled along the avenue. The architectural beauty of the buildings lining Main Street is evident, with their intricate facades and awnings providing shade from the midday sun. A blind hangs above one of the shop entrances, adding character to this vibrant city scene. Telegraph poles stand tall alongside streetcars, showcasing advancements in communication and transportation during this era. It is fascinating to imagine how life unfolded on these very streets over a century ago. People from all walks of life can be seen going about their daily routines - businessmen engrossed in books or newspapers, while others engage in conversations or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll. This remarkable photograph serves as a window into history; it allows us to appreciate not only Rochester's rich past but also its transformation into an integral part of American society. It reminds us that every city has its own unique story waiting to be discovered through images like these captured by unknown creators who have left an indelible mark on our collective memory.
