EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this view of High Street in Portsmouth, Virginia, USA, circa 1905. The photograph transports us to an era long past, filled with the charm and character of a bygone era. The wide, tree-lined street is bustling with activity, as horse-drawn carriages and a tramcar make their way along the tramlines. The buildings on either side of the street, with their ornate facades and sunshades, exude an air of elegance and sophistication. The tall, imposing spire of a church in the background adds a sense of grandeur to the scene, while the telegraph poles and wires remind us of the technological advancements of the time. The sun casts a warm glow over the street, the blinds of the shops and houses creating intricate patterns of light and shadow. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history and heritage of Portsmouth, a city rich in American history. The 1900s were a period of growth and transformation for the city, and this image captures the essence of that time. The tramcar, with its vintage design and distinctive livery, is a reminder of the transportation methods of the era, while the sun, casting long shadows, highlights the passing of time. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a valuable historical document, offering us a window into the past.
