EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tourists Returning to Their Steamer on the Harlem River, with High Bridge on the Left" takes us back in time to 19th century America. Engraved by W. A Rogers for Harpers Weekly and captured by an anonymous American School artist, this image showcases a moment of leisure and adventure. In the foreground, we see a bustling boat filled with excited tourists dressed in elegant Victorian costumes. They are returning from a delightful journey along the picturesque Harlem River, their faces beaming with joy as they recount their experiences. The magnificent High Bridge stands proudly on the left side of the frame, its watchtower reaching towards the sky. This photograph not only captures a snapshot of holidaymakers enjoying their vacation but also highlights American engineering prowess through the impressive aqueduct built between 1837-1848. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress during that era. As we gaze at this historical gem, we are transported back to New York City in its early days - Manhattan's skyline visible in the distance. This image reminds us of how tourism has always been an integral part of North America's culture; it represents both exploration and pleasure-seeking. Preserved within private collections today, this engraving offers us a glimpse into our past while igniting our imagination about what life was like during those times. It is truly an invaluable piece that celebrates both artistry and history alike.
