EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of New York City in the early 20th century. The Globe Theatre, located on 46th Street and Broadway, takes center stage with its grand marquee advertising the talented actress Laurette Taylor. Between November 1916 and June 1917, Taylor graced this historic theater with her presence, leaving a lasting impression on audiences. The image exudes an atmospheric urban vibe as it showcases the bustling city streets at night. Bright billboards and signs illuminate the surroundings, creating a vibrant display of advertising that was characteristic of this era. The architecture of the Globe Theatre stands tall against this backdrop, its facade drawing attention from passersby. As one's gaze extends beyond the theater, other elements come into focus - clothing shops displaying their wares and flashing lights adding to the lively street scene. This photograph beautifully encapsulates not only entertainment but also everyday life in Manhattan during this time period. The photographer William Davis Hassler expertly captured a moment frozen in time - a snapshot that allows us to travel back to c. 1916-17 and experience firsthand the energy and excitement that radiated from Broadway. With its historical significance preserved within this image, we are reminded of how artistry intertwines with daily existence in America's cultural capital: New York City.
