EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in Philadelphia's North Broad Street, taken by an American photographer in the 19th century. The image showcases the bustling street scene from Girard Avenue, offering a glimpse into the city's past. The photograph was originally featured as an illustration for Fifty Glimpses of Philadelphia and Vicinity, published by Rand McNally in 1898. It is now part of a private collection, preserving this valuable piece of history. In the picture, we see horse-drawn carriages navigating through busy traffic on North Broad Street. The architecture of the buildings lining the street reflects the style prevalent during that era. This snapshot provides us with a unique window into life in late 19th-century Philadelphia. One notable residence visible along North Broad Street is that of P. A. B Widener, adding to the historical significance captured within this frame. As we explore this image further, it becomes evident how much has changed over time while also recognizing elements that have remained constant throughout Philadelphia's evolution. This photograph not only documents a specific place but also serves as a testament to America's rich history and cultural heritage. It reminds us of our roots and invites contemplation about progress and change over time.
