The record for this view gives only its title, a vintage street scene in Washington, DC, and a numbering that suggests it belongs to a set of related images. Streets in the capital in earlier decades were shared by horse-drawn carriages, streetcars, and pedestrians in hats and long coats, with shopfronts and signs lining the blocks. Scenes like this capture a city in transition, as paved roads, electric lighting, and new commercial buildings gradually changed its everyday look, and small details in the signs and clothing reward a careful look.
