EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the bustling streets of New York City in the early 20th century. Taken around 1917, it offers a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere of Broadway, as seen from the Empire Building in the Financial District. The iconic Trinity Church stands proudly in the foreground, while our gaze follows the majestic stretch of Broadway towards its northern end. The Equitable Building, a towering structure completed just two years prior to this photograph, dominates the right side of the frame. Its 38 stories symbolize Manhattan's ever-growing skyline during that era. On the left side, fragments of both Woolworth and Singer Buildings peek through, adding to this architectural masterpiece. As we observe this sepia-toned image, one can't help but marvel at how much has changed over a century. Yet amidst all these transformations lies an undeniable sense of history and heritage that still resonates with modern-day New Yorkers. The high angle view allows us to appreciate not only these magnificent skyscrapers but also catch glimpses of people going about their daily lives on those busy streets below. This snapshot freezes a moment in time when urban life was thriving under clear blue skies and abundant sunshine. Preserved by Underwood Archives and brought to you by Universal Images Group (UIG), this piece invites us to reflect on New York City's rich past while acknowledging its continuous evolution into one of North America's most iconic cities.
