EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard captures the bustling intersection of Fifth and Wood Streets in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, around 1908. The image showcases a vibrant street scene filled with activity. In the foreground, a group of people can be seen walking along the sidewalk, their attire reflecting the fashion trends of that era. Men in suits and hats accompany elegantly dressed women as they navigate through horse-drawn carriages and early automobiles. The architectural beauty of this North American city is on full display here. A magnificent building with an intricate facade stands tall at one corner, adding to the grandeur of this urban landscape. A prominent sign hangs above it, catching attention from passersby. A clock mounted on a nearby lamppost serves as a timekeeper for all those traversing these busy streets. It reminds everyone to keep pace with their daily routines amidst the hustle and bustle. This postcard offers us a glimpse into everyday life during that period - capturing both men and women going about their business or leisurely strolling along this lively thoroughfare. Preserved by the Detroit Photographic Company, this historical artifact provides valuable insight into American design arts and commercial art practices prevalent during that time. Now housed at Lake County Museum in Allegheny County, this photolithograph print allows us to appreciate how much has changed over a century while also highlighting timeless elements such as human connection within an urban setting.
