EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in 1898 on the bustling streets of New York City, we are transported back in time to witness a vibrant Easter parade passing down 5th Avenue. The image captures the essence of city life from over a century ago, with its crowded streets filled with men, women, and children eagerly observing the procession. The focal point of the photo is undoubtedly the grand Windsor Hotel on the left side. Little did anyone know that this iconic landmark would be tragically destroyed by fire just one year later. Its presence adds an air of elegance and sophistication to the scene. As our eyes wander through this snapshot frozen in time, we notice horse-drawn carts and carriages making their way through the lively crowd. The horses' powerful strides create a sense of movement amidst all the stillness captured within this monochromatic frame. Men can be seen donning top hats while women elegantly display their fashionable attire for such a special occasion. Young boys excitedly join in on the festivities as they watch curiously from street corners or perch atop their fathers' shoulders. This historic photograph not only serves as a glimpse into New York City's past but also encapsulates moments of joy and celebration during Easter festivities. It reminds us that traditions have always played an essential role in bringing communities together throughout history.
