Commercial Wharf from Pier 4
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. Harbor water and industrial chimneys appear with Commercial Wharf from Pier 4, giving the shore architecture a working background across the basin.
The 1973 source records wharf, harbor water and industrial chimneys. 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 pier-to-wharf view connects Boston's warehouse waterfront with water and industry, keeping the surrounding harbor landscape attached to the buildings rather than showing them alone. Keep the plaque on the desk where its picture can be noticed between a page of work and the next task.
