EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of old Coney Island, Brooklyn, circa 1910. The scene captures the vibrant energy of this iconic American destination, with crowds and traffic filling Surf Avenue as far as the eye can see. In the foreground, we spot a variety of vehicles that were popular during that era: trolleys, buses, trucks, trams, convertibles, and cars all jostling for space on the busy street. The sight of a cable car adds an extra touch of nostalgia to this snapshot from history. Amidst the hustle and bustle, our attention is drawn to Feltmans restaurant and resort - known as the birthplace of the hot dog as we know it today. Its original building stands proudly across from Sea Beach Palace terminal and hotel. These establishments served as prominent landmarks in their time. The Giant Racer rollercoaster looms tall in the background, reminding us of Coney Island's reputation for thrilling entertainment. Numerous signs and advertisements adorn buildings along Surf Avenue – a testament to its lively atmosphere. As we observe this outdoor leisure activity captured on an archival postcard view, it becomes evident how much has changed over a century while also recognizing timeless elements like people walking about enjoying city life. This photograph truly encapsulates an era long gone but forever etched into American history.
