EDITORS COMMENTS
New South Ferry, 1904" is a captivating work of art by Charles Frederick William Mielatz, showcasing the bustling activity at the South Ferry terminal in New York City during the early 20th century. This exquisite drypoint print, with brush and watercolor on cream Japanese paper, transports us back in time to an era of horse-drawn carriages, ships, and the hustle and bustle of urban life. Mielatz masterfully captures the essence of New York's waterfront, where the Hudson River meets the harbor. The South Ferry terminal, with its grand ferryboats and dockside activity, is a focal point of the composition. The intricate details of the ships, their rigging and sails, are rendered with meticulous care, while the horses and carriages add a touch of old-world charm. The black and white contrast of the print enhances the sense of history and timelessness. The use of drypoint, an intaglio printmaking technique, adds texture and depth to the image, creating a rich, tactile experience. The watercolor adds subtle color and nuance, bringing the scene to life. This print is a testament to Mielatz's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the spirit of a place and a time. It is a valuable addition to any collection of American art or urban landscapes, and a reminder of the rich heritage and history of New York City. Charles Frederick William Mielatz (1876-1957) was an American artist known for his detailed and expressive prints and drawings. This particular work, "New South Ferry, 1904," is a standout in his oeuvre and a must-see for anyone interested in the history of New York City or the art of the early 20th century.
