EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Chestnut Street, Philadelphia in the early 1900s. The image showcases the architectural marvels that lined this historic avenue, capturing a moment frozen in time. With its monochrome charm, it transports us to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed these roads and pedestrians strolled along the sidewalks. Originally known as Wynne Street after Thomas Wynne, who resided here, Chestnut Street was renamed by William Penn himself in 1684. This street holds a significant place in American history and continues to be an iconic landmark today. The photograph is part of Scenic Marvels of the New World edited by Professor George R. Cromwell, offering a glimpse into his expertise on urban landscapes. While we may not know the exact creator behind this particular image, it serves as a testament to their skillful eye for capturing city life. As we admire this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of Philadelphia's rich heritage and its role as one of America's oldest cities. It stands as both a tribute to our past and an inspiration for future generations who continue to walk these very streets today.
