EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Newport, Rhode Island. In the foreground stands the Old State House, a historic landmark that exudes grandeur and echoes with stories from centuries past. Its elegant architecture serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and its role in shaping America. In stark contrast to the Old State House, we see New City Hall rising proudly in the background. This modern structure represents progress and growth, symbolizing Newport's evolution into a vibrant city while still honoring its heritage. The photographer, an American artist from the 19th century whose name remains unknown, skillfully captured this juxtaposition between old and new. The image is part of a private collection and was featured in a souvenir booklet of photographs depicting Newport at the turn of the 20th century. As we delve deeper into this scene, our eyes are drawn to very early cars scattered throughout some pictures within this collection. These vintage automobiles serve as reminders of how far technology has come since then. Newport itself is renowned for its wealth and status as a luxurious resort destination. With breathtaking views like these, it comes as no surprise that it has attracted wealthy individuals seeking leisure and relaxation for generations. This print not only showcases Newport's historical significance but also encapsulates its allure as an iconic American destination where tradition meets progress.
