EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a street in Key West, Florida, circa 1897. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to the scene. Key West's rich history is evident in its various ownership claims during the 18th and 19th centuries, which isolated it until the connection to the Florida mainland was established in 1912 through an Overseas Railway extension. From "A Tour Through the New World America" by Professor Geo. R. Cromwell, published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London in 1897, this photograph offers a glimpse into daily life during that era. The dusty road transports us back to a time when Key West was still developing as a city. In this snapshot of history, we see a man standing proudly on the street with direct gaze towards the camera while leaning against his wheelbarrow cart. Surrounding him are historic buildings that line both sides of the avenue, showcasing architectural styles prevalent at that time. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and character to this portrait of urbanisation in late 19th century America. It serves as a reminder of how far society has come since then while also preserving our appreciation for heritage and cultural evolution.
