SUMMER HEAT WAVE, 1872. The Heated Term - Distributing Ice-Water In Printing-House Square
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving from 1872 captures the essence of a scorching summer heat wave in New York City. Amidst the sweltering streets, men and women can be seen seeking respite from the oppressive heat as they gather around a charitable ice-water distributor in Printing-House Square. In this bustling scene, a young girl with an umbrella provides shade for her pet dog while eagerly waiting her turn to quench her thirst. Nearby, workers take a much-needed break from their daily tasks to enjoy the refreshing drink offered by this kind-hearted distributor. The image showcases not only the extreme conditions faced by city dwellers during that era but also highlights the compassion and community spirit that prevailed even amidst challenging circumstances. It serves as a reminder of how people came together to support one another during difficult times. This wood engraving offers us a glimpse into daily life in late 19th-century America – where relief from blistering temperatures was found through small acts of charity and shared resources. As we admire this historical artwork, let it serve as inspiration to foster kindness and solidarity within our own communities today.
