EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Great War parades on Fifth Avenue. As time passes, these parades are fading into distant memories, but it is crucial to preserve them for future generations. The American Photographer from the 19th century beautifully portrays this scene, which now resides in a private collection. In this particular image, Mrs. George F Baker Jr takes the lead as she guides a unit of Red Cross nurses through the parade. Alongside her march notable women such as Mrs. Gifford Cochrane, Mrs. William G Loew, and Mrs. Arthur Scott Burden among others. The illustration was originally featured in Valentines Manual of Old New York in 1921 and serves as a testament to the importance of documenting historical events like these parades that took place during one of America's most challenging times. Looking at this photograph allows us to reflect on the bravery and dedication displayed by these women who selflessly served their country during wartime. It also offers us a glimpse into New York City's past - its bustling streets filled with patriotic energy. As we observe this image today, let us remember those who participated in these parades and honor their contributions towards building a better future for all Americans.
