About this work

A wood-engraved street scene shows well-dressed pedestrians gathered at dusk on a Boston corner, with a large telescope set on a tripod near a shop with a "Boots & Shoes" awning and an oyster house sign. Gas-lit storefronts and signs line the street, and women in full skirts and men in top hats stroll among children and onlookers. The work is catalogued as a drawing by Winslow Homer dated 1857.
