EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Edwin Levick in 1902, the scene unfolds on a snowy street in New York City. Policemen are seen valiantly attempting to help up a collapsed horse, its massive frame sprawled across the pavement. The heavy snowfall has taken its toll on the majestic animal, rendering it helpless and in need of assistance. The image evokes a sense of both effort and pain as these dedicated officers work together to alleviate the suffering of their equine companion. Their determination is palpable, as they strive to lift the weighty burden off the fallen creature. Levick's choice to present this moment in black and white adds depth and intensity to the photograph. The absence of color allows us to focus solely on the raw emotions conveyed through body language and facial expressions. This poignant snapshot serves as a reminder of our shared humanity with animals, highlighting how even amidst bustling city streets, compassion can be found within those who serve and protect. It encapsulates an era when horses were an integral part of daily life before modern transportation took over. As we gaze upon this historical artifact frozen in time, we are transported back to early 20th century New York City – a testament not only to Levick's skillful artistry but also his ability to capture moments that resonate with viewers even more than a century later.
