EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Government Grounds" captures a glimpse of early 20th-century America, specifically the bustling city of Atlantic City on New Jersey's Atlantic coast. The image showcases the grandeur and history of this renowned seaside resort town. In the foreground, we see a picturesque lighthouse standing tall against the backdrop of an expansive beach. Adjacent to it are two significant landmarks - the Weather Bureau and US Life Saving Station buildings. These structures symbolize both safety and adventure, as they were crucial in protecting lives along the treacherous coastline. The composition invites us to imagine strolling through these Government Grounds, where tourists from all over America would come seeking relaxation, enjoyment, and improved health. This photo serves as a window into an era when large hotels dominated the landscape, catering to visitors who sought pleasure in their luxurious accommodations. As we gaze at this scene captured by an American photographer from the 19th century, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates not only Atlantic City's rich history but also reflects broader themes such as tourism development in North America during that time period. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "Atlantic City Views" published by Osborne Publishing in New York back in 1903. It stands as a testament to our fascination with capturing moments that define our past while reminding us of how far we have come.
