Georgetown waterfront mural

According to the GeorgetownDC website’s murals and public arts section:

“Bryan King’s 1992 mural on the side of America Eats Tavern (Old Glory, at the time) is another trompe-l’œil offering a look at life on the Georgetown waterfront at the turn of the 20th century. According to dcmurals.org, the artist researched Georgetown’s early topography at Georgetown Library before he began working on his piece …”

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly unsharp.

Unique and interesting mural. I like the extra "windows" provided by the muralist.

It would be lovely to see horse and carriage instead of cars to be in-keeping with the lovely mural

Georgetown looks to be busy, well-developed hub. I know it as a sleepy little cattle-station and transit town of 300 people in the Australian tropical outback.

Great mural. Much better without all those cars in the era it depicts!
