Commercial Wharf from Pier 4
Bring a little Boston home.
Cotton Canvas Tote · Natural · 15 × 16 inches
Keys, a book and the day's small essentials are ready by the door; this tote gives them a place to go along. 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. Use it for the library, market or a day's small essentials, letting the picture go beyond the house with the things you carry.
