EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Second Street in Seattle, Washington, circa 1897. The image showcases a bustling city scene with people going about their daily lives against the backdrop of historic architecture. It is fascinating to imagine that this area was once inhabited by Native Americans for thousands of years before European settlers arrived. The photograph is sourced from "A Tour Through the New World America" by Professor Geo. R. Cromwell, published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London in 1897. This book provides a glimpse into American history during the 19th century and offers valuable insights into the development of cities like Seattle. In this particular snapshot, we see men strolling along the sidewalk, perhaps engaged in conversations or heading towards their destinations on this busy day. The street itself is lined with impressive buildings featuring intricate facades that showcase architectural styles prevalent during that era. Notably, a telegraph pole stands tall amidst the hustle and bustle, symbolizing advancements in communication technology at that time. This print serves as a visual time capsule capturing an important period in Seattle's history when it was transforming into a thriving urban center. It allows us to reflect upon how far we have come while appreciating our roots and acknowledging those who came before us.
