EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of Manhattan Beach in 1887. The image, created by Joseph Byron, showcases a bustling scene of leisure and recreation along the shores of this iconic New York City borough. In the foreground, bathers can be seen diving fearlessly into the refreshing waters, their bodies gracefully suspended mid-air. Their daring acts symbolize both the thrill-seeking nature of pastimes during that era and the carefree spirit that permeated Manhattan Beach. The pier stretches out into the sea, its wooden planks worn from years of use. It serves as a gathering place for visitors to stroll along or simply admire the panoramic view before them. Postcard vendors line its edges, ready to capture moments frozen in time for eager tourists. The lithograph not only immortalizes an era long gone but also highlights America's love affair with water-based activities. Swimmers dotting the shoreline add movement and life to this snapshot from history. Manhattan Beach itself is a testament to Brooklyn's rich cultural heritage and its enduring connection with public spaces dedicated to relaxation and enjoyment. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time - witnessing an American beach culture that has evolved over generations yet still retains its timeless allure.
