The Common, Park Street Church, Boston, Massachusetts 19th-20th century

Editor: This is a pencil sketch of "The Common, Park Street Church, Boston, Massachusetts" by Lester George Hornby. It feels so calm, almost like a memory. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It’s funny you say that. For me, it evokes a certain nostalgia. Notice how the bare trees frame the church steeple. Hornby captured a moment, the everyday life swirling around a place of reverence. A visual poem, wouldn’t you agree? Editor: Definitely! It’s making me think about how the past and present are always layered on top of each other in a city. Curator: Exactly! A beautiful reminder that even in the hustle, there’s always history whispering.
