EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Palisades Hudson River Yonkers Docks Silas A" captures a moment frozen in time. Taken around 1855 by the talented American photographer Silas A. Holmes, this salted paper print transports us to the bustling docks of Yonkers, New York. The image showcases the magnificent Palisades towering over the tranquil waters of the Hudson River. The sheer size and grandeur of these cliffs are awe-inspiring, creating a dramatic backdrop for the scene unfolding at the docks below. It is as if nature itself serves as a silent witness to human activity. In this snapshot from history, we see boats docked along the riverbank while workers go about their daily tasks. The hustle and bustle suggest a thriving maritime industry during that era. The details captured by Holmes' lens reveal not only an industrial landscape but also hints of everyday life - people going about their business, perhaps exchanging goods or preparing for voyages across these historic waters. Measuring approximately 29.2 × 38.6 cm (11 1/2 × 15 3/16 inches), this print invites us to immerse ourselves in its timeless beauty and contemplate how much has changed since those early days in Yonkers.
