About this postcard

A tinted view looking down Pryor Street in downtown Atlanta, with tall brick commercial blocks lining both sides, pedestrians in period dress on the sidewalks, and a horse-drawn wagon and carriage in the unpaved street. Pryor Street was one of Atlanta's principal downtown thoroughfares, running south from the railroad gulch past the city's wholesale and retail business blocks. The lower-right corner carries the artist's signature, Charles Flower, a name associated with early twentieth-century color-lithographed American street views.
