This woodcut shows the courthouse on Jefferson Street between Fifth and Sixth in Louisville, Kentucky, a block that was the civic center of the city in the mid-nineteenth century. The print was issued by Berman & Bros., and its catalog card dates it only to the 184- decade, so the exact year remains uncertain. Woodcut street views like this one were popular in that period, when towns used such images to show off public buildings and to record how their centers looked. Because the record is based on old caption-card information, it is worth checking the details against other sources before relying on them.
