EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to the vibrant streets of Pomona, California in 1904. The image showcases a bustling scene on 2nd Street, as bicycles and horse-drawn carriages coexist harmoniously amidst stunning architectural structures. In the foreground, we see a group of individuals confidently pedaling their bicycles along the cobblestone road. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of that era - men donning suits with bowler hats while women elegantly ride side-saddle in long skirts. These modern contraptions symbolize progress and freedom, embodying California's pioneering spirit. Contrasting against this dynamic bicycle culture are beautifully adorned horse-drawn carriages gracefully passing by. The majestic horses exude strength and elegance as they pull these ornate vehicles through the street. This juxtaposition between old-world charm and emerging technology captures a unique moment in time when transportation options were rapidly evolving. The backdrop is dominated by impressive buildings that line both sides of 2nd Street. These architectural gems showcase intricate details and reflect various styles prevalent during that period – Victorian, Gothic Revival, or perhaps even Spanish Colonial influences can be seen among them. Through this remarkable photograph, we are transported to an enchanting era where tradition meets innovation in Pomona's historic streetscape. It serves as a testament to how our modes of transportation have evolved over time while reminding us of the rich history embedded within every cityscape across the United States.
