On the cover:
Park River Freshet, May 5, 1893. Webster Seventh defines freshet
as "a great rise or overflowing of a stream caused by heavy
rains or melted snow." This happened with some regularity during
the 19th and 20th century. Advertising signs such as these for an
Asylum Street clothier were commonly painted on the sides of brick
buildings. The faded ghosts of some of these signs can still be
seen around the city. From Hartford Collection at The Hartford Public
Library. See story on page 10.
