Two albumen photographs depicting street scenes from historic Boston, specifically capturing views of Exeter and Essex Streets. These images provide a glimpse into the architectural and urban landscape of the city during the late 19th or early 20th century, showcasing the bustling yet orderly environment of Boston's commercial districts.
Left Photograph: The first image highlights a corner building on Exeter Street, characterized by its robust brick construction and classical architectural details. The street is lined with telephone poles, adding a touch of modernity to the scene. The cobblestone streets and the horse-drawn carriage visible in the distance evoke a bygone era of urban life.
Right Photograph: The second image focuses on Essex Street, where the only fully legible sign reads "Woods, Perry & Co." This building, like the one on Exeter Street, features intricate stonework and large, arched windows that reflect the architectural trends of the time. The photograph captures the essence of Boston's vibrant commercial activity, with stacked goods and a few passersby visible in the scene.
Both photographs are finely detailed, with excellent tonal range, capturing the essence of Boston's historic streetscapes. Mounted back-to-back on a single page, these images offer a rare and valuable perspective on the city's architectural and commercial heritage.
These photographs would make a distinguished addition to any collection focused on vintage photography, urban history, or the architectural evolution of Boston.
