EDITORS COMMENTS
Union Square, New York, USA, 1895: A Glimpse into the Past". This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Union Square in New York City during the late 19th century. The image showcases an architectural marvel that has stood the test of time - a bronze equestrian statue of George Washington sculpted by Henry Kirke Brown. Dedicated in 1856, this remarkable artwork holds great historical significance as it is recognized as the oldest sculpture within the New York City Parks collection. Standing proudly amidst a landscape filled with buildings and busy roads, General Washington's monument commands attention and reverence from all who pass by. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless charm to this snapshot from history. It transports us to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed Fourth Avenue and Fourteenth Street was a major thoroughfare. The unknown creator skillfully captures not just a physical location but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how cities evolve over time while still preserving their heritage. This piece serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of Union Square's past. Through its publication in "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs" it continues to captivate viewers even more than a century later. Let this photograph transport you back to Union Square's vibrant past, where art meets architecture against the backdrop of one of America's most iconic cities.
