EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures Main Street in Rochester, New York, between 1900 and 1910. The image, from the collection of the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past of this bustling American city. The street scene is filled with a diverse mix of people, some dressed in their Sunday best, others in work clothes, all going about their daily business. In the foreground, a sign for a cough medicine company catches the eye, a reminder of the importance of science and commerce in the era before antibiotics. The tramline running down the center of the street indicates the city's growing transportation infrastructure, connecting different parts of the urban area. Exterior shots like this one were often taken using a dry plate negative process on glass 8 x 10 inches in size. The photograph's crisp details and tonal range showcase the skill of the unknown photographer who captured this moment in time. Main Street, Rochester, New York, was a hub of activity during this period, with various industries, including agriculture, manufacturing, and commerce, contributing to the city's growth. This photograph serves as a testament to the rich heritage of the United States during the early 20th century, offering a unique perspective on the country's urban development and the lives of its people.
