EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling streets of Philadelphia in the late 19th century. Taken from a vantage point on Chestnut Street, it offers a glimpse into the city's vibrant history. Looking east from Sixth Street, one can see the iconic Drexel Building towering over the surrounding structures. The image showcases an era when horse-drawn carriages shared the road with pedestrians, creating a lively atmosphere filled with movement and activity. The historic significance of this location is further emphasized by Independence Hall peeking through in the distance, reminding viewers of Philadelphia's role in shaping American history. The photograph was originally featured as an illustration for "Fifty Glimpses of Philadelphia and Vicinity" published by Rand McNally in 1898. Its inclusion in this collection speaks to its cultural importance at that time. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to a period when America was still emerging as a global power. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come while honoring our past. This image is part of Bridgeman Images' private collection and represents not just Philadelphia but also America itself - its people, its progress, and its spirit.
