EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver photo captures a momentous event in American history - the Hudson-Fulton Celebration of 1909. The photograph, taken by Jessie Tarbox Beals, showcases Historical Parade Float No 53, featuring an awe-inspiring replica of the Statue of Liberty. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the grandeur and artistry of the float. Towering above everything else is Lady Liberty herself, her majestic presence symbolizing freedom and hope. Adorned with intricate details and draped in flowing robes, she stands as a beacon of inspiration for all who witness her. At the forefront of the float are large chickens, adding an unexpected touch to this historical spectacle. Perhaps they represent prosperity or abundance during that era. Regardless, their inclusion adds a whimsical element to an otherwise solemn occasion. The Hudson-Fulton Celebration was a commemoration of two significant events - Henry Hudson's exploration of New York's waterways and Robert Fulton's successful steamboat voyage up the Hudson River. This parade served as a testament to America's progress and technological advancements at that time. Preserved by the New-York Historical Society in their esteemed collection, this gelatin silver print allows us to step back in time and experience firsthand one extraordinary moment from our nation's past. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich history but also our enduring spirit as Americans striving for greatness.
