EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of New York City in the 1920s. The focal point is undoubtedly the magnificent U. S. Custom House building, standing tall and proud on Bowling Green. Its grandeur is accentuated by a plethora of architectural details, from its towering columns to the ornate lampposts that line the street. In this snapshot of history, we witness an amalgamation of transportation methods coexisting harmoniously. A classic car gracefully passes by, while a horse-drawn carriage with majestic horses trots along beside it. The sight of these noble animals adds a touch of nostalgia to this urban scene. The American flag proudly flutters atop a flagpole near the entrance of the subway station, symbolizing patriotism and unity within this vibrant cityscape. Time seems frozen as we notice an old-fashioned clock mounted on one side of the Custom House building; its hands forever marking moments long gone. Amidst all these elements lies a sense of order and authority embodied by statuesque figures adorning both sides of the entranceway. These statues serve as guardians, silently watching over daily life unfolding beneath them. This evocative photograph captures not just a moment in time but also reflects upon America's rich architectural heritage and its ever-evolving urban landscape. It invites us to appreciate how history intertwines seamlessly with progress in shaping our cities today.
