EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1910s, capturing the grandeur of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum in Manhattan. Housed within the magnificent former Carnegie Mansion on Fifth Avenue at 91st Street, this architectural marvel was designed by Babb, Cook, and Willard and completed in 1901. A true pioneer of its time, it boasted steel frame supports and one of New York's first Otis safety elevators. The image showcases the museum's imposing presence against a backdrop of lush greenery. Standing tall behind an elegant wrought iron fence adorned with intricate designs, the mansion exudes an air of sophistication that perfectly complements its purpose as a center for design excellence. Intriguingly, an automobile stands parked near the entrance – a symbol of progress during this era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst tradition and history, innovation finds its place. Since 1976, this iconic building has been home to the esteemed National Design Museum under the auspices of Smithsonian Institution. Its walls have witnessed countless exhibitions celebrating creativity across various disciplines. This remarkable photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance embedded within these walls.
