EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Philadelphia in 1886" takes us back to a vibrant era of the city's history. The colour lithograph, created by William Burk and John McFetridge, beautifully captures the essence of Philadelphia during the late 19th century. Measuring an impressive 104x183 cm, this artwork is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Map Collection. The image showcases a bustling urban landscape with its remarkable architecture and thriving businesses. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to a time when industrialization was rapidly transforming cities across North America. Philadelphia, known for its significant role in trade and industry during that period, stands tall as a symbol of progress and development. The green spaces scattered throughout the map remind us that amidst rapid urbanization, nature still found its place within the city limits. These landmarks serve as reminders of both human ingenuity and our connection to the natural world. As we explore every inch of this detailed map, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates an entire era—the Gilded Age—when wealth and opulence were on full display. This print not only serves as a historical document but also sparks our imagination about what life must have been like in Philadelphia over a century ago. With each glance at this extraordinary piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of how far society has come while appreciating the foundations laid by those who came before us.
