EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling city of St. Louis in the year 1870, capturing a snapshot of its vibrant streets and iconic landmarks. The image was beautifully captured by John Filmer, an esteemed photographer from St. Louis himself. In this stunning composition, we are transported to various corners of the city, immersing ourselves in its rich history and architectural beauty. From the grandeur of the New Court House on Olive Street to the tranquil Lafayette Park, every detail is meticulously preserved for posterity. The second panel down showcases paddle steamers gracefully navigating through the mighty Mississippi River, reminding us of St. Louis' vital role as a major river port during that era. As part of "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant, this print serves as both a visual delight and historical documentation. It offers us a glimpse into life in 19th century St. Louis - its thriving commerce, educational institutions like McDowells College tucked away in quiet nooks along Chouteau Avenue. John Filmer's artistic eye captures not only buildings but also bridges connecting different parts of this growing metropolis with their intricate designs serving as symbols of progress and connectivity. This remarkable piece invites us to reflect upon how much has changed over time while appreciating the enduring spirit and charm that still defines St. Louis today.
