EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D. C. circa 1897. The creator remains unknown, but their skillful composition captures the essence of this historic thoroughfare. Pennsylvania Avenue, laid out by Pierre Charles L'Enfant, stands as one of the earliest streets constructed in the Federal City. Its architectural features are on full display in this image - from the grand buildings lining its sides to the balustrade that adds a touch of elegance. Intriguingly, background people add life and movement to this snapshot frozen in time. They traverse along the avenue's wide lanes while others leisurely ascend or descend its steps. This scene truly encapsulates a moment from America's past. The print originates from "A Tour Through the New World America" by Professor George R. Cromwell, published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London in 1897. It serves as a window into history for those who appreciate both art and architecture. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we can't help but be transported to an era when horse-drawn carriages roamed these very streets and whispers of progress echoed through every building facade. This photograph is not just an image; it is a testament to our nation's rich heritage and reminds us of how far we have come since those early days in our capital city.
