EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling scene of First Street at its southern end in San Jose, Santa Clara County, California, circa 1908. Known as the "Road of a Thousand Wonders," this historic street is lined with large buildings and shops that were thriving during the early 20th century.
In this snapshot from over a century ago, we see a mix of transportation methods including cars, horses pulling carriages, carts, and even sunblinds to shield pedestrians from the California sun. The vibrant energy of the era is palpable as people go about their daily activities against the backdrop of impressive architecture.
The charm and character of old-world America are on full display in this image - a reminder of simpler times when life moved at a slower pace. It's fascinating to imagine what stories lie behind each storefront and who might have walked these very streets all those years ago.
As we gaze upon this slice of history frozen in time, we can't help but be transported back to an era where progress was booming and possibilities seemed endless. This print serves as both a window into the past and a testament to the enduring spirit of innovation that has defined Santa Clara County for generations.
