EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of Calgary, Alberta in the year 1910. The image showcases 1st Street West looking north from 13th Avenue, offering a fascinating insight into the bustling city life of that era.
In the foreground, we see a variety of stores lining the street, with pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages making their way along the road. The presence of tram tracks indicates the importance of public transportation even back then.
The architecture is reminiscent of early Canadian buildings, with telegraph poles dotting the landscape. A grocery store stands out among other establishments, serving as a reminder of simpler times when shopping was done locally.
The overall atmosphere exudes a sense of nostalgia and charm, transporting viewers back to a time when Calgary was still developing as a city. The black and white aesthetic adds to the vintage feel of this photograph.
As we gaze at this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of how much has changed since then while also appreciating the timeless beauty captured in this historic moment. It serves as a window into Calgary's past and invites us to reflect on its rich history.
