EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a bustling scene on Market Street at 9th in Philadelphia, circa 1899. The image showcases the iconic Gimbel Brothers department store, situated on the southeast corner of this vibrant city intersection. Taken by an anonymous American photographer from the 19th century, this albumen print offers a glimpse into the heart of urban commerce during that era. The architectural details of the building are striking, with its grand facade and ornate windows drawing attention to itself amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. Pedestrians can be seen strolling along the sidewalk, some stopping to admire goods displayed in shop windows while others hurry past with purposeful strides. Gimbel Brothers was a prominent name in retail during this time period, known for their quality merchandise and exceptional customer service. This photograph serves as a visual testament to their success as one of Philadelphia's premier shopping destinations. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when horse-drawn carriages lined these very streets and storefronts were adorned with elaborate signage. It is through images like these that we gain insight into our collective past and appreciate how far we have come in terms of architecture, technology, and consumer culture.
