EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving from 1839 showcases the iconic Second Bank of the United States, located on lower Chestnut Street in Philadelphia. The image, created by William Henry Bartlett, beautifully captures the grandeur and architectural splendor of this historic institution. The imposing building stands tall with its impressive columns and intricate detailing, a testament to the city's early commerce and finance prowess. In front of the bank, an African American worker can be seen pushing a wheelbarrow, symbolizing the diverse workforce that contributed to America's growth during this era. The scene is bustling with activity as people go about their daily lives in this vibrant cityscape. The old custom house adjacent to the bank adds another layer of historical significance to this print. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - a snapshot of North American history when banking played a crucial role in shaping our nation's destiny. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come since those early days while honoring the legacy left behind by institutions like the Second Bank of the United States. It is an homage not only to architecture but also to hard work and dedication that helped build our great nation.
