EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling city of Philadelphia in 1858. The view from Grays Ferry looking south showcases a landscape that is both familiar and yet vastly different from the Philadelphia we know today. In this detailed drawing by James Fuller Queen, we see the Schuylkill River flowing gracefully through the heart of the city. The river serves as a lifeline, with barges navigating its waters, transporting goods and connecting communities along its banks. The artist's skillful use of watercolor brings out the vibrant colors of nature, capturing a moment when rain clouds loom overhead. Despite the threat of rain, life goes on as people can be seen going about their daily activities on an exterior ferry docked at Grays Ferry. This mid-19th century scene offers us a glimpse into a time when Philadelphia was rapidly growing and evolving. It reminds us of how much has changed over the years while also highlighting some enduring features that still define this historic city. As we admire this stunning artwork from Granger Art on Demand, let it transport us back in time to experience Philadelphia's rich history and appreciate how far we have come since then.
