EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1910 and 1920, showcases the bustling activity on Market Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The image, from the collection of the Library of Congress, captures the essence of a thriving commercial district during the early 20th century in America. The street scene is filled with a diverse mix of people, both white and black, engaged in their daily routines. Shoppers can be seen browsing the various shops, while others go about their business or simply watch the world go by. The shops themselves display an array of goods, from fresh produce and baked goods to clothing and household items. The exterior of the buildings, some with ornate details and others more utilitarian, add to the urban landscape. The street, paved with cobblestones, is lined with trees and telephone poles, creating a sense of both progress and tradition. The photograph was captured using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, a common method of photography during this time period. The image, while faded, retains its ability to transport us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and the United States as a whole. Market Street, with its vibrant commerce and diverse population, stands as a testament to the spirit and energy of a city in the early 1900s. This photograph is an invaluable addition to any collection of American history or urban studies, and a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations.
