EDITORS COMMENTS
Cutting and Storing Ice on the Hudson River, New York, USA, 1875: A Glimpse into Winter's Work". This print from 1875 takes us back to a time when ice was harvested by hand on the frozen Hudson River in New York. The image captures the essence of a bygone era as men diligently cut through the thick ice while horses stand patiently nearby. In this wintry scene, we witness an essential process that played a crucial role in refrigeration during the 19th century. The men work tirelessly to extract large blocks of ice from the river, carefully storing them in buildings specially designed for preservation. These icy treasures would later be distributed across America to keep food fresh during warmer months. The print not only showcases the industrious nature of American workers but also highlights their resourcefulness and adaptability. It serves as a reminder of how humans have always found innovative ways to harness nature's elements for their benefit. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back in time - feeling the chill in our bones and marveling at these brave souls who braved freezing temperatures to ensure sustenance for future generations. This image is a testament to human ingenuity and resilience against harsh winters – an enduring symbol of hard work etched into history along with its creators' names: Unknown and Lumley.
