EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a nostalgic scene from 1929 in East Harlem, New York. The image showcases a fleet of horsedrawn delivery wagons parked outside the Carolyn Laundry on East 128th Street. As telephone wires crisscross above them, the drivers can be seen attending to their carts, ready to embark on their daily deliveries. The photo provides a glimpse into the bustling commercial activity of the era, with horses serving as vital means of transportation for goods and services. It is an evocative reminder of a time when horse-drawn vehicles were still prevalent before being gradually replaced by motorized alternatives. Taken during the Great Depression and just months before Wall Street crashed, this image also serves as a poignant representation of resilience amidst challenging times. Despite economic hardships looming over the city, these dedicated delivery men continue to fulfill their duties diligently. Preserved in silver gelatin print format by renowned photographer Byron Company, this historical artifact now resides at the Museum of the City of New York. Through its timeless appeal and attention to detail, it transports viewers back to an iconic moment in early 20th-century urban life. As we admire this remarkable photograph captured almost a century ago, let us reflect upon how much has changed since then while cherishing our shared history and progress.
