Boston Harbor from the State Street Block
Bring a little Boston home.
Ceramic Mug · White · 11 oz
While the tea brews, there is time to look at the picture beside your hand on the mug. Warehouses and moored vessels fill the harbor basin seen from the State Street block, putting Boston's shore buildings beside their maritime traffic.
The source is a published Soule stereograph issued circa 1850-1920, opposite-facing warehouse basin and moored vessels. The view preserves a particular relationship between Boston Harbor and its shore. Water, buildings and routes form a record of local maritime life at the time of the source.
The published stereograph connects commercial waterfront architecture with vessels at the wharf, keeping a particular harbor-facing relationship within the city's historical views. Give it a place near the tea or coffee, so the local view is ready for the cups that come around each day.
