EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from ca. 1937 showcases the remarkable interior of the iconic Holland Tunnel in New York City, USA. Spanning an impressive 5,480 feet beneath the Hudson River, this engineering marvel connects Manhattan and Jersey City. The tunnel consists of two tubes, each accommodating two lanes of vehicular traffic moving in opposite directions. In this particular view, we can observe the state line demarcated at the center of the tunnel, symbolizing a seamless transition between New York and New Jersey. The meticulous planning and execution behind this project are evident as we witness a perfectly designed infrastructure that facilitates smooth transportation for thousands of commuters daily. One fascinating feature highlighted here is the exceptional ventilation system employed within the tunnel. With its ability to completely refresh air 42 times per hour, it ensures optimal conditions for drivers passing through this subterranean passage. This historic photograph not only captures a significant moment in time but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation in civil engineering. It stands as a reminder of how mankind has continuously pushed boundaries to create structures that enhance connectivity and improve lives. As we gaze upon this image print by Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back to an era when pioneering feats like these reshaped urban landscapes and propelled cities into modernity.
