EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the beginning of Broadway and the Bowling Green in 1890, during a significant moment when the cable was being laid. Taken by an American photographer from the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. In this historical snapshot, Trinity Church is partially obscured by the towering Empire Building, symbolizing New York City's rapid growth and transformation at that time. The scene showcases the bustling metropolis with its busy streets filled with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians going about their daily lives. The photograph was originally used as an illustration for "The New Metropolis" edited by E Idell Zeisloft in 1899. It offers us a glimpse into how Lower Manhattan looked over a century ago, highlighting both its architectural landmarks like Trinity Church and its emerging modernity represented by the Empire Building. This image not only documents an important milestone in New York's history but also serves as a testament to America's progress during that era. With its rich details and nostalgic charm, it allows us to reflect on how far we have come while appreciating the timeless beauty of one of America's most iconic cities.
