EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 48th Street between Broadway and Seventh Avenue in 1917. The image, captured by William Davis Hassler, showcases the vibrant energy of New York City's nightlife during this era. As darkness falls, the city comes alive with a symphony of glowing lights and flashing signs. The atmosphere is electric as people fill the sidewalks, drawn to the allure of Rectors Mens Cafe and Grill and Palais Royal. These establishments stand proudly on either side of the street, their facades adorned with eye-catching advertisements that compete for attention. The architecture surrounding them reflects the distinct style of early 20th-century America, adding to the charm and character of this urban scene. Every detail tells a story - from the ornate designs on buildings to the vintage cars parked along the curb. This photograph captures not only a specific moment in history but also embodies an essence that remains timeless -the spirit of New York City at night. It serves as a reminder that even amidst change, some things endure: its vibrant energy, its iconic landmarks like Broadway and Seventh Avenue. Now preserved within the collection of New-York Historical Society, this remarkable piece invites us to step into another era and marvel at how much has changed while recognizing what has stayed constant in one of America's most beloved cities.
