Boston Harbor from the State Street Block
Bring a little Boston home.
Slate Desk Plaque · 11 × 7 inches
A desk holds the things you need for work; there can be room for a local picture beside them too. 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. Make room beside the pen cup or books, keeping the small display within reach of an ordinary day's work at home.
