EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FULTON FISH MARKET. New York's fish market in Lent" takes us back to the bustling streets of late 19th century Manhattan. The image, illustrated by W. H. Lawrence in 1894, showcases the vibrant energy of one of America's oldest fish markets. The scene unfolds with a backdrop of iconic landmarks such as the Brooklyn Bridge, reminding us of the rich history embedded within this cityscape. As we delve deeper into the frame, we are transported into an interior filled with activity and purpose. Fishmongers can be seen diligently attending to their tasks, showcasing their expertise in handling an array of fresh catches from nearby ships. The atmosphere is palpable; a sense of urgency permeates through every corner as customers flock to acquire their desired seafood during Lent—a time when abstaining from meat was customary for Catholics. This cultural context adds depth to our understanding of this historic moment captured on film. Through this photograph, Granger Art on Demand allows us a glimpse into turn-of-the-century New York City life—its people, its commerce, and its traditions. It serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability that has characterized Fulton Fish Market throughout its long-standing existence. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let it serve as a reminder that even amidst change and progress over decades gone by, there are certain elements that remain timeless—the dedication and hard work embodied by those who make up the backbone of any thriving marketplace.
