EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of State Street in Chicago, USA, during the early 1900s, as depicted in The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The vintage photograph transports us to an era of horse-drawn carriages, trams, and intricately designed Victorian and Edwardian architecture. The bustling street is lined with tall, ornate buildings, their facades adorned with intricate details and grandiose designs. The cobblestone road is filled with a lively scene of activity, as people go about their daily business. Horses and carriages make their way down the street, while trams laden with passengers glide smoothly along the tracks. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, with its unique blend of old-world charm and modern innovation. The use of lantern slides, a popular method of projecting images during this time, adds to the nostalgic feel of the image. The cars of the era, with their elegant designs and high-placed headlights, add a touch of sophistication to the scene. State Street was once the heart of Chicago's commercial district, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the city during the early 1900s. The image is a testament to the city's resilience and its ability to transform and adapt to the changing times. This vintage photograph is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a valuable historical document, offering a unique perspective into the past. It invites us to reflect on the evolution of urban life and the enduring spirit of Chicago.
