Boston Harbor from the State Street Block
Bring a little Boston home.
Square Magnet · 4 × 4 inches
A note for later belongs somewhere you will see it again; this magnet adds a picture to that everyday spot. 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. Let it share the fridge with appointments and drawings, keeping the view in the middle of a well-used corner of home.
