Description

A postcard depicting an airplane view of Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Also serving as part of Pennsylvania Route 3 (PA 3), Market Street is a major business district in Philadelphia, with many historic sites along its eastern section, including the home of Benjamin Franklin (ca. 1705-1790) and the site where Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) drafted of the Declaration of Independence. For this reason, it is considered one of the most historic highways in America.

This postcard is part of a collection of postcards kept by Lucile Campbell, a schoolteacher in Sanford, Florida, for 30 years. In 1931, she took advantage of a special rate for teachers and sailed to Europe, where she traveled for several months and is thought to have acquired many of these postcards. During the 1940-1941 school year, Campbell taught at Sanford Grammar School. Before her retirement in 1970, she taught at many other area schools, including the Oviedo School, Westside Grammar School, and Pinecrest Elementary School. Campbell used these postcards as aids in her classrooms to teach advanced subjects, such as Shakespearean drama. The collection, along with her other teaching aids, papers, and photographs, was later found at Sanford Grammar School after it became the University of Central Florida's Public History Center. Campbell's postcard collection and photographs provide insight into the life of a respected Florida educator.
