EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Downtown Indianapolis in the 1870s. The image, a hand-colored woodcut of a 19th-century illustration, beautifully captures the essence of this vibrant city during its early years. As we gaze upon this vintage scene, our eyes are drawn down Washington Street, looking west from Meriden Street. The street is alive with activity - pedestrians strolling along the sidewalks, horse-drawn carriages and wagons making their way through the busy thoroughfare, and even a trolley gliding along its tracks. The heritage and traditional charm of this historic city are evident in every detail. From the ornate architecture adorning each building to the pushcarts lining the sidewalks selling goods to eager customers, commerce thrived in these streets. Indianapolis was already establishing itself as an important center for business and trade in North America's Midwest region during this time period. This snapshot into history showcases not only its growth but also its potential for future prosperity. Transportation played a vital role in shaping Indianapolis' identity as well. Horses were relied upon for both personal transportation and commercial purposes such as pulling carriages or delivering goods by wagon. This artful depiction invites us to step back in time and appreciate the rich history that has shaped Indianapolis into what it is today – a thriving metropolis with deep roots firmly planted in its past.
