This view is dated July 4, 1870, so it captures Boston on Independence Day, when the city marked the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, then 94 years old. By 1870 Boston was a busy port and manufacturing center with a population of about 250,000, and color city views like this one were popular with residents and visitors who wanted a keepsake of the city. Look for the harbor, the rooftops, and the street life, which show how the city looked on a holiday that drew crowds into public spaces.
