EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of New York City in 1879. With a bird's-eye view, we are transported to a time when the city was still growing and evolving. The map, skillfully drawn by J. W. Williams and published by Root & Tinker, offers a detailed perspective of this iconic metropolis. The image showcases the magnificent Brooklyn Bridge, an engineering marvel that connected Manhattan with its neighboring borough for the first time. Stretching across the East River, it stands as a symbol of progress and innovation during this late 19th-century era. As we explore further into the photograph, our eyes are drawn to the majestic Hudson River flowing alongside Manhattan's towering skyscrapers. The panorama captures both the cityscape and seashore in one frame, reminding us of New York City's unique blend of urban life and natural beauty. Streets teeming with activity reveal glimpses of daily life - people going about their business amidst horse-drawn carriages traversing cobblestone roads. This lithograph provides an extraordinary window into what once was: a vibrant city on its way to becoming one of the world's most influential cultural hubs. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this historical gem from their extensive collection for all to appreciate. It serves as a reminder that even though times have changed since 1879, New York City continues to captivate hearts with its timeless allure.
