EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to 1872 Boston, Massachusetts. The image showcases the iconic Hussey Wells & Co. building on Federal Street, a testament to the city's rich history and thriving commerce during that era. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is James Wallace Black, an accomplished American artist known for his exceptional talent in capturing urban landscapes. With his keen eye for detail, Black masterfully composed this albumen street print measuring 14.9 x 19.7 cm (5 7/8 x 7 3/4 in. ), preserving every architectural nuance of the scene. The photograph exudes a sense of timeless elegance as it portrays the grandeur of Hussey Wells & Co. , a prominent establishment at the time. Its imposing structure stands tall against the backdrop of bustling streets, evoking a feeling of awe and admiration for both its architecture and historical significance. As we delve into this visual masterpiece, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages traversed cobblestone roads while pedestrians strolled along Federal Street's sidewalks. This print serves as a window into Boston's past—a glimpse into daily life over a century ago. While details about commercial use remain undisclosed, one thing is certain: this mesmerizing image allows us to appreciate not only James Wallace Black's artistic prowess but also offers insight into Boston's vibrant heritage that continues to captivate historians and enthusiasts alike.
