EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling scene of Market Street in Philadelphia in 1907. The view down the street showcases a vibrant mix of transportation, with street cars and trolley tracks, horse-drawn wagons and carriages, as well as subway construction equipment scattered along the road. The sidewalks are filled with people going about their daily activities, creating a lively atmosphere. At the very center of the image, a mail trolley can be seen on the siding at the Post Office building. This detail adds to the dynamic nature of this busy scene. On horseback at the south corner stand police officers, overseeing the flow of traffic and ensuring order amidst all this activity. The commercial buildings lining Market Street include notable establishments such as "Heilbron's" "Tho. Martindale & Co. ", "Gimbel Brothers", "Pilsner beer", "The Peoples Store", and "Otto Eisenlohr & Bros". Each building contributes to the character and charm of this historic street. A particularly interesting feature is a horse-drawn carriage prominently displaying a sign that reads: "National local express to here". This highlights one of many services available during that time period. Overall, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but still alive through images like these. It serves as both a historical record and an artistic representation capturing everyday life on Market Street in early 20th century Philadelphia.
