EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a wide view of the United Electric Light & Power Company window display at W. 138th Street and Hamilton Place in New York City, on a chilly December day in 1914. The image, taken by William Davis Hassler, showcases an era when electricity was revolutionizing businesses and homes across America. The bustling scene reveals a vibrant array of storefronts adorned with eye-catching displays. These shops catered to the growing demand for appliances powered by electricity, which was rapidly transforming daily life. From electric stoves to innovative lighting fixtures, these businesses played a crucial role in bringing modern conveniences into people's lives. The grandeur of the buildings lining West 138th Street is evident as they stand tall against the backdrop of this thriving commercial district. This photograph serves as a testament to American ingenuity and progress during that time period. Preserved within the collection of the New-York Historical Society, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in our nation's history. It reminds us how far we have come since then while also highlighting our ongoing quest for innovation and advancement. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Hassler's lens, it is impossible not to appreciate the impact that electricity has had on society over the years – forever changing how we live and work.
