EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this postcard view of Memphis, Tennessee, USA, dating back to the late 1890s. The image showcases a collection of notable landmarks that once defined the city's unique character and charm. At the heart of the scene, the majestic Custom House stands proudly, its grand architecture a testament to the city's rich history. The Custom House, built in 1841, served as the main customs house and post office for Memphis and the surrounding area. Its imposing presence, with its tall columns and intricate details, reflects the importance of trade and commerce in the city's early development. To the left, the Mississippi River Front is depicted, with its bustling activity and picturesque boats. The river played a vital role in Memphis' growth, as it facilitated transportation and trade between the city and other parts of the country. In the foreground, the elegant Cossitt Library can be seen. Established in 1892, the library was a gift from wealthy philanthropist and businessman, William T. Cossitt. Designed in the Italian Renaissance style, the library was a symbol of the city's commitment to education and culture. Finally, Court Square, the city's historic center, is depicted in the upper right corner. The square, which has been the site of various public gatherings and events since the city's founding, is surrounded by beautiful buildings that reflect Memphis' diverse architectural heritage. This postcard, with its intricate handwriting and detailed illustration, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to explore the history and beauty of Memphis, Tennessee, in the late 1890s.
