Fairmount c. 1883 - 1888

"Fairmount" is a black and white photograph taken by M.P. Warner sometime between 1883 and 1888. The photograph depicts a street lined with houses, with a pair of horses and a carriage traveling down the middle of the road. The buildings are primarily residential and appear to be under construction. The perspective of the photograph is long and narrow, focusing on the street itself and the houses lining it. It is a snapshot of the development of a city in the late 19th century, capturing the changing urban landscape. The composition, with its focus on the perspective and the street, gives a sense of the scale and size of the street and the developing area. The overall image is a classic example of early photography, offering a glimpse into the past and the way cities were built.
