EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of New York City in 1878. From an aerial perspective, we are granted a unique glimpse into the heart of the retail trade on the east side, with its vibrant energy and constant movement. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the Grand Street Station on the New York elevated railroad, which stands tall amidst a sea of buildings. The artist behind this illustration remains unidentified, yet their talent shines through as they capture every intricate detail with precision. The architectural beauty of this era is evident in the ornate facades and towering structures that line these busy streets. It's fascinating to see how city transport has evolved over time, with overhead railways dominating the skyline. Transportation and communication were key elements in shaping urban life during this period, and this photograph serves as a testament to that fact. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, it sparks our imagination about what life was like for those who traversed these streets daily. Ken Welsh's skillful reproduction ensures that we can appreciate every nuance captured by the original artist all those years ago. This archival piece offers us a window into New York City's past – a reminder of its rich history and enduring spirit.
