EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Brooklyn's bustling streets on May 25,1920. The image showcases a collection of car cards displayed on a Brooklyn trolley, providing a glimpse into the vibrant advertising culture of the time. Taken by William Davis Hassler, this photograph is now part of the esteemed New-York Historical Society's collection in the United States. The car cards, plastered across the trolley's exterior, serve as captivating visual advertisements for various products and services. These signs reflect the spirit of early 20th-century America with their bold typography and eye-catching designs. They not only offer insight into popular consumer goods but also provide a snapshot of transportation history. As trams weave through Brooklyn's streets, these car cards become mobile billboards that engage passengers and passersby alike. This image transports us back to an era when public transport was not just about getting from point A to B; it was an immersive experience where commuters were surrounded by vivid displays vying for their attention. With its nostalgic charm and historical significance, this photograph encapsulates both the energy of urban life in early 20th-century America and the evolution of advertising techniques during that time period. It serves as a reminder that even in our fast-paced modern world, there is beauty to be found in capturing moments from simpler times.
