EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history - the ticket for the first New York to Brooklyn steam ferry in 1814. The image showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of the American School from the 19th century, now housed in a private collection and brought to us by Peter Newark American Pictures. The ticket itself is a testament to an era when crossing between these two iconic cities was still an extraordinary feat. It represents more than just a fare or passage; it symbolizes progress, innovation, and connectivity. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness the birth of steam-powered transportation on America's east coast. The intricate details of this engraving reveal elements that defined early steamboats - towering chimneys emitting plumes of smoke, grand funnels capturing our imagination with their sheer size and power. These vessels were pioneers of their time, revolutionizing travel and trade along America's waterways. In this single image lies a story waiting to be told – one that speaks volumes about the spirit of adventure and exploration that shaped our nation's history. It serves as a reminder that progress often begins with small steps towards change. Let this print serve as both an homage to those who dared to dream big and as inspiration for future generations seeking new frontiers.
