EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "River Thieves" takes us back to 19th century America, specifically New York City. The image showcases a bustling harbor scene with a sense of historical charm and intrigue. As the sun casts its gentle light upon the city, a boat glides peacefully along the river, seemingly undisturbed by the chaos unfolding around it. In this snapshot of history, we witness an intense moment as police officers search for suspicious individuals who may be attempting to escape justice. The guardians of law and order are turned towards their mission, determined to catch these elusive river thieves. The composition beautifully captures the energy and tension in this metropolis on the brink of progress. The print is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for "The New Metropolis" edited by E Idell Zeisloft in 1899. It offers us a glimpse into life during that era when America was still shaping its identity as a nation. Through this artwork, we can appreciate not only the artistic skill involved in creating such detailed engravings but also gain insight into how cities like New York were evolving at that time. This piece serves as a reminder of our rich history and how far we have come since then while honoring those who worked tirelessly to maintain peace within our beloved United States of America.
