EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history as a team of horses labors to transport a massive vault door down Broad Street towards the Bankers Trust Company's premises, likely in the 1910s. The vault door, adorned with intricate designs and heavy-duty locks, is being moved on a specially designed rig labeled as an "emergency door." The horses, with their powerful muscles straining, seem determined to complete the task at hand. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling city street, with the sign of a nearby building, "Bankers Trust Co.," visible in the distance. The cobblestone road, horse-drawn carts, and the vintage advertisements on the walls add to the historical context of the photograph. The transportation of such large and valuable items, such as bank vaults and safes, was a common sight in the early 20th century before the advent of motorized vehicles. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the ingenuity and hard work required to move heavy objects in an era before modern technology took over. The Bankers Trust Company, founded in 1865, was a prominent financial institution in New York City, known for its robust security measures, including the use of heavy vaults to protect its clients' assets. This photograph serves as a testament to the company's commitment to security and the lengths it went to ensure the safekeeping of its clients' valuables.
