EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Philadelphia in 1839. The image showcases a magnificent view of the Philadelphia Exchange and Girards Bank, two iconic architectural landmarks that defined the city's skyline during that era. Partially obscured in the right background, Girards Bank stands tall with its grandeur, symbolizing the importance of banking and finance in this thriving American city. The steel engraving technique used to create this print adds a touch of elegance and timelessness to the scene. It was masterfully executed by William Henry Bartlett, an artist known for his ability to capture intricate details and convey a sense of realism. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported to a time when horse-drawn wagons and omnibuses filled the streets, serving as primary modes of transportation. Men in top hats can be seen going about their daily lives while women clad in elegant dresses stroll along these historic avenues. A child marvels at all that surrounds them, representing the innocence and wonderment present even amidst such urban sophistication. This print serves as a window into early American life – showcasing not only remarkable architecture but also providing glimpses into how people lived during this period. It is truly a testament to both artistry and historical significance captured within one frame.
