EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Street scene [looking north on Bedons Alley to Elliott Street] with horse and wagon,' captures a moment in time in Charleston, South Carolina, between 1920 and 1926. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, the image offers a glimpse into the daily life of this historic southern city during the 1920s. The scene is set on a bustling city street, with Bedons Alley leading the eye to Elliott Street. A horse-drawn wagon, laden with goods, makes its way through the narrow alley, its driver and passengers engrossed in their tasks. The buildings lining the street, including the majestic house at the end of Elliott Street, built in 1793, stand proudly, their multi-storey facades a testament to the city's rich heritage. The photograph is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, showcasing the diversity of Charleston's population, with both African American and white men and women going about their daily business. The image is particularly noteworthy for its depiction of African Americans, who were a significant part of the city's community during this period. The photograph, a nitrate negative from the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to any collection of American history or urban studies. Its timeless quality and intriguing details make it a must-have for anyone interested in the history of Charleston, the United States, or the 1920s.
