EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken on April 22, 1889, depicts a bustling scene at the south front of the US Treasury building in Washington, D.C. The image, captured by an unnamed painter using his original or Number One Kodak, showcases a waffle vendor's wagon, which has drawn a small crowd of men and boys. The vendor's enticing offer of six hot waffles for just five cents proved irresistible to the passersby. In the background, the hubbub of the Easter Egg Roll at the White House next door can be glimpsed, adding to the lively atmosphere. Vendors catering to tourists were a common sight in the downtown landscape of Washington, D.C., and this waffle vendor's wagon was no exception. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the energy and excitement of the city during this time, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a fascinating look at the simple pleasures that brought joy to people over a century ago.
