EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the vibrant streets of New York City in 1871 with this photo print. The image captures a grand parade, filled with excitement and celebration, as it winds its way through the bustling city. Amidst the sea of people, one float stands out - a magnificent representation of ancient Rome. This intricately designed float pays homage to the rich history and culture of Italy's capital city. Complete with Roman architecture, statuesque figures, and ornate decorations, it transports onlookers to another era. Men dressed in elaborate costumes ride horseback alongside the float, adding an air of majesty and authenticity. The occasion for this spectacular display is none other than the momentous move of Italy's capital from Florence to Rome on August 25th, 1871. This event marked a significant milestone in Italian history and was met with great jubilation by both Italians living abroad and their American counterparts. Preserved through a wood engraving technique popular at that time, this print offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a testament to New York City's diverse cultural fabric even then - embracing different traditions from around the world. Immerse yourself in this snapshot from history; let your imagination wander through those lively streets where past meets present.
