EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1946, when the future headquarters of the United Nations was still under construction. The image captures a moment in time from Tudor City at 41st Street, looking north along First Avenue. The bustling cityscape is filled with vintage cars and pedestrians going about their daily lives. In the foreground, we see an empty lot that would soon become one of the most iconic sites in international diplomacy. This vacant space holds so much promise for a united world striving for peace and cooperation. It serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's collective efforts to come together and address global challenges. As our gaze extends beyond the construction site, we are greeted by the majestic Queensborough Bridge standing tall against the sky. Its elegant arches symbolize connectivity between boroughs and nations alike. The photograph transports us to a pivotal moment in history, where hope for a better future was palpable amidst post-war uncertainties. It encapsulates both ambition and determination as architects laid down foundations for what would become an enduring symbol of unity. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this remarkable piece allows us to reflect on how far we have come since that fateful December day in 1946 while inspiring us to continue working towards building bridges rather than walls - both figuratively and literally - across borders around the world.
