EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white stereograph photo takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Herald Square in the 1890s. As we gaze upon this historic image, our eyes are drawn towards the grandeur of the Sixth Avenue Elevated Railroad, stretching out before us like a lifeline connecting different parts of New York City. The elevated tracks dominate the scene, casting shadows over the busy street below. We can almost hear the clatter and rumble of passing trains as they transport commuters to their destinations. The sight is both awe-inspiring and slightly intimidating, reminding us of an era when transportation was still evolving. Looking beyond the railroad tracks, our gaze follows Broadway all the way up to its pinnacle -the iconic Times Building. This architectural marvel stands tall amidst a sea of buildings, symbolizing progress and modernity. Street scenes come alive in this photograph; people from all walks of life can be seen going about their daily routines. Horse-drawn carriages share space with early automobiles while pedestrians navigate through crowded sidewalks. It's a snapshot frozen in time that captures not only a specific place but also an entire era. Preserved by Underwood & Underwood, this stereograph photo now resides within the esteemed collection of New-York Historical Society. Its historical significance cannot be overstated as it offers viewers a glimpse into how transportation shaped urban landscapes during one of America's most transformative periods. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded that photographs have
