EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and opulence of The Waldorf Astoria, situated at the iconic intersection of 34th Street and 5th Avenue in New York City. Taken by Byron Company in either 1901 or 1902, this silver gelatin print showcases the imposing facade of the hotel from a unique vantage point on a rooftop across the street. Originally two separate hotels, The Waldorf (established in 1893) and The Astoria (opened its doors in 1897), this architectural marvel became an emblem of luxury during America's Gilded Age. Its magnificent presence dominates the cityscape with its intricate detailing and impressive size. The image transports us back to a time when horse-drawn trams traversed bustling streets, adding an element of nostalgia to this already captivating scene. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the rich history that permeates every inch of New York City. Now housed within the Museum of the City of New York, this photograph serves as a testament to both American architecture and photography from the early twentieth century. It encapsulates an era defined by elegance, sophistication, and ambition - characteristics that continue to define The Waldorf Astoria even today. As we admire this remarkable piece captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported into another world - one where timeless beauty meets modern innovation amidst one of America's most iconic cities.
