1644 Bowery Build Decide Fathers Plantation Runs
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of New York City - the construction of Wall Street in 1644. As the city fathers made the decision to build a wall from the Great Bowery to Emanuels Plantation, they inadvertently gave rise to one of the most iconic streets in America. The name "Wall Street" itself pays homage to this historic event, as it runs alongside the very wall that was built over three centuries ago.
In this image, we are transported back in time to witness the beginnings of what would become a bustling financial hub and symbol of American capitalism. The street is lined with buildings that have stood for generations, each holding its own piece of history within their walls.
As we gaze upon this scene, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed since those early days. Yet, despite all the advancements and progress that have taken place, Wall Street remains a constant reminder of our past and serves as a testament to our enduring legacy.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured this momentous occasion through their lens, allowing us to appreciate and reflect on the rich tapestry of New York City's history. This print is not just an image; it is a window into another time - a time when decisions were made that would shape the future forever.
