EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1885, offering a glimpse into the equipment of a New York City policeman from that era. The wood engraving, skillfully crafted in the same year, showcases an array of essential tools and symbols of authority used by these dedicated law enforcement officers. At first glance, we are drawn to the intricate details of each item displayed. A prominent badge catches our attention, proudly worn on the officer's chest as a symbol of his duty and commitment to protect and serve. Adjacent to it lies an obi belt with its late design, adding an air of elegance amidst this collection of functional gear. The helmet stands tall beside them - a sturdy headpiece that shielded officers during their daily patrols through bustling city streets. A club rests nearby; its presence reminding us that maintaining order sometimes required physical force. Further exploration reveals handcuffs for restraining suspects, a wand symbolizing authority and control over crowds, and even a holster for carrying firearms – all necessary elements in ensuring public safety during those times. As we admire this historic ensemble meticulously captured in this wood engraving from 1885 by The Granger Collection, we are transported back to an era when American police equipment was evolving alongside societal changes. This artwork serves as both a testament to the rich history of law enforcement in America and as a reminder that dedication towards maintaining peace has always been at the forefront throughout time.
