What this plate shows
State Street photographed looking along the commercial canyon: cable cars, wagons, packed sidewalks, masonry blocks with iron fronts. Twenty-two years after the fire. A camera on the rebuilt street. Not Flint’s lithograph of the city as drawn before, and not Barnard’s plate of the burnt district. This is what occupied the street afterward, that year.
