Boston Harbor from the State Street Block
Bring a little Boston home.
Cotton Canvas Tote · Natural · 15 × 16 inches
Books from the library and the day's small purchases can go along in this canvas tote. 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. It can be a practical gift that takes the local view along, with room for a book and the ordinary things needed for an errand.
