EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented Edwin Levick in the early 1910s, showcases the bustling construction scene at Battery Park in downtown Manhattan, New York City. From a high angle perspective, one can observe the remarkable transformation taking place as buildings rise amidst a sea of activity. The image reveals an intricate web of railway tracks crisscrossing through the construction site, hinting at the vital role transportation played in shaping this vibrant cityscape. A horse-drawn carriage gracefully navigates its way through the chaos, reminding us of a time when horsepower was still prevalent on city streets. Amidst it all stands a majestic tree, seemingly unaffected by the commotion surrounding it. Its presence serves as a reminder that nature endures even amidst urban development. Levick's photograph captures not only the physical structures being built but also provides us with glimpses into daily life during this era. The full-length shot offers insight into fashion trends and societal norms of that time period. As we gaze upon this archival masterpiece, we are transported back to an exciting chapter in New York City's history. It is a testament to human ingenuity and ambition as well as an ode to both architecture and artistry.
