EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century Philadelphia. Delaware Avenue, north from Market Street, comes alive in this snapshot frozen in time. The scene is filled with a myriad of horse-drawn carriages, carts, and wagons navigating their way through the busy urban landscape. Storefronts line both sides of the avenue, displaying shop signs that offer a glimpse into daily life during this era. From general stores to specialty shops, these establishments were vital hubs for commerce and community interaction. The waterfront serves as a backdrop, reminding us of Philadelphia's close connection to its maritime heritage. The photograph captures the essence of transportation in America at that time - horses hitched to carriages or coupled with carts were the primary means of getting around town. This image offers an intriguing window into how people moved about before automobiles dominated our roads. As we delve deeper into this historical gem, it becomes evident that every detail has been meticulously preserved by the American photographer who captured this moment over a century ago. Thanks to organizations like the Free Library of Philadelphia and Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving art history, we can still appreciate and learn from these remarkable glimpses into our past.
