EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Girard Ave, Germantown Rd, 3rd St and Canal Street" takes us back to the bustling streets of Philadelphia in 1867. Captured by Ernest Hexamer, a renowned American surveyor, this colour lithograph offers a unique glimpse into the urban landscape of that era. The image showcases an intricate layout of warehouses and properties along Girard Avenue, Germantown Road, 3rd Street, and Canal Street. With its detailed map-like quality, it provides viewers with an aerial perspective of the town's commercial and industrial areas. The eye is immediately drawn to the numerous warehouses lining these streets – symbols of Pennsylvania's booming industry at the time. Hexamer's expertise as a surveyor is evident in his meticulous depiction of each property and estate. This print serves as both a historical document and a work of art that captures the essence of urban life during this period in America's history. Displayed proudly at the Free Library of Philadelphia today, this artwork invites us to reflect on how our cities have evolved over time while reminding us of their rich industrial heritage. It allows us to appreciate not only Hexamer's skillful craftsmanship but also his contribution to preserving our collective memory through his General Surveys series. As we gaze upon this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time – witnessing firsthand the growth and development that shaped Philadelphia into what it is today.
