EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling streets of Broadway and Sixth Avenue, looking south from Greeley Square in 19th century New York City. The image, taken by an American photographer whose identity remains unknown, is now part of a private collection. The scene depicts a vibrant metropolis filled with historical significance. The towering buildings lining the streets showcase the city's rapid growth during this era. From the iconic St James Building to the Union Dime Savings Bank, each architectural marvel tells a story of prosperity and progress. Intriguingly, one can spot a cab stand near Hotel Imperial, hinting at the importance of transportation in this thriving urban center. The elevated road above adds another layer to this snapshot of history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness life as it once was on these very streets. It serves as a reminder of how far New York City has come while honoring its rich heritage. This remarkable piece was originally featured as an illustration for "The New Metropolis" edited by E Idell Zeisloft and published by D Appleton in 1899. Its inclusion in this publication highlights its significance as a visual representation of America's evolving landscape. Bridgeman Images preserves and shares this valuable artwork through Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate and reflect upon our past while celebrating the enduring spirit that defines America's great cities like New York.
