View of Chestnut Street in Philadelphia


Close-up.
"North side of Chestnut Street, between Second Street and Third Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania." Comparison of two views of Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, c. 1842. Three men are visible in one of the photographs and various objects on the sidewalk have moved slightly. The position of the shadows at the bottom left of the photographs might show that a measurable amount of time had passed between the taking of each view which were presumably taken on the same day. By William G. Mason.
