EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Old Wall Street in New York City during the 1910s, as depicted in this vintage postcard from Mary Evans Picture Library. The bustling commercial district of Manhattan, known as the Financial District, is a far cry from the modern metropolis we know today. The iconic Old Stone House at South Street and Old Slip, a remnant of the Dutch colonial era, stands proudly amidst the towering buildings and horse-drawn carriages. In the foreground, a young boy, dressed in his Sunday best, gazes up at the historic site with a sense of wonder and curiosity. The boy's hometown, Burial Caskets Company in South Columbus, Ohio, USA, is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of Wall Street. The United States, then in its infancy as a global superpower, was undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization, and New York City was at the heart of it all. The Old Wall Street scene is a testament to the rich history of America's financial and commercial district. The buildings, some of which still stand today, were home to the country's most influential financial institutions, including J.P. Morgan & Co. and the New York Stock Exchange. The cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, and the Old Stone House transport us back to an era of horsepower, hard work, and innovation. This postcard, with its intriguing juxtaposition of the old and the new, serves as a reminder of the enduring spirit of progress and the indelible mark left by the past on the present.
