Times Square In The Rain - A Glimpse into 1940s New York City
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the early 1940s, offering a high-angle view of Times Square in the rain. From atop the iconic Times Tower (now One Times Square), we are transported to the bustling intersection of Broadway and Seventh Avenue at 42nd Street, where history unfolds before our eyes. The image showcases prominent structures that once defined this vibrant cityscape. On the left stands the majestic Astor Hotel, exuding grandeur even amidst the downpour. To its right, we catch a glimpse of the demolished facade of the International Casino, reminding us of bygone entertainment venues that shaped this cultural hub. Amidst it all, an electric sign for Planters Peanuts illuminates Broadway and Seventh Avenue with its inviting glow. This iconic symbol adds a touch of nostalgia to an already enchanting scene. As raindrops cascade from above, pedestrians brave through wet streets while cars and buses navigate their way through traffic. The photograph captures not only architecture but also moments frozen in time – people walking briskly along sidewalks adorned with theatre banners and commercial signs. Through this archival piece, we witness midtown Manhattan's electrifying energy despite inclement weather. It serves as a reminder that no matter what era or circumstance may surround us, New York City remains an enduring symbol of resilience and vitality.
