We're excited to share the second chapter of our Americana ordinals series: Old Glory. Created to commemorate America's 250th anniversary, this interactive parent/child collection brings the photochrom postcards of the Detroit Publishing Company on-chain, inviting collectors to step back into the America of a century ago.
Old Glory #228 - Smithfield Street, Pittsburgh, PA.
Pittsburgh, 1910: steel, coal, and railroads built fortunes while workers faced smoke, danger, and long hours.
The postcard reads “Pittsburg,” the federal spelling until 1911, when the city got its “h” back. Locals had kept using it all along.
Old Glory #31 - Battle Scars, Fort Pulaski, Savannah, GA.
Fort Pulaski’s massive brick walls met their match on April 10–11, 1862. Union rifled cannons breached the fort after 30 hours, threatening its powder magazine and forcing a Confederate surrender. The battle exposed masonry forts’ vulnerability to modern artillery.
