EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to June 9,1895, when the Philadelphia Sunday Press was at its prime. The image showcases a commercial relief process, an innovative technique of that era used for printing newspapers and other publications. The sheet measures an impressive 21 15/16 by 15 11/16 inches (55.7 by 39.8 cm), allowing us to appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship involved in creating this piece of history. The artist behind this remarkable work is George Reiter Brill, an American photographer hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Brill's talent shines through as he captures the essence of Philadelphia's bustling streets during that period. From horse-drawn carriages to elegantly dressed pedestrians strolling along cobblestone paths, every element transports us into a different era altogether. It is fascinating to imagine how these prints were distributed throughout the city on that particular Sunday morning over a century ago. They must have been eagerly devoured by readers seeking news about local events, politics, and entertainment. Although little is known about Brill himself or his life beyond his birthplace and dates (1867–1918), we can still admire his artistic contribution through this exceptional photograph. As we gaze upon it today, let us appreciate not only its historical significance but also Brill's ability to freeze moments in time for future generations to cherish.
