About this postcard

The card shows Main Street in Richmond, Virginia, looking west from Eleventh Street, with multi-story commercial blocks, streetcar tracks, horse-drawn wagons, and pedestrians. The printed caption names the view, and a large "AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK" sign is visible on a building in the background. Main Street was Richmond's principal commercial and financial corridor in the early 20th century, and scenes like this record the mix of street railway, delivery wagons, and foot traffic before automobiles dominated.
