EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of Hotel McAlpin, located at the bustling intersection of 34th Street and Broadway in New York City. Taken in 1912 by the renowned Byron Company, this print showcases a moment frozen in time. Designed by Frank Mills Andrews, Hotel McAlpin was an architectural marvel that boasted being the largest hotel in the world upon its opening. The image provides an aerial view of the cityscape, with elevated railway tracks running alongside pedestrians on busy streets below. The facade of the hotel stands tall and majestic on the corner, drawing attention from passersby. The overpainting technique used to re-photograph this original print adds a unique touch to this historical piece. It brings out intricate details and highlights key elements such as public transport trams traversing along painted train tracks. The photograph encapsulates early 20th-century architecture and street scenes, showcasing both traffic congestion and bustling crowds characteristic of Manhattan during that era. This snapshot offers viewers a glimpse into New York's vibrant past while also celebrating photography as an art form. Displayed at the Museum of the City of New York, this remarkable image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and urban development throughout history.
