EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to 1971, capturing the Elephant Hotel in a state of disrepair. Known as Lucy the Elephant, this six-story novelty architecture landmark stands tall in Margate City, New Jersey. The sepia tone and retro aesthetic add a nostalgic touch to this vertical composition. Once an iconic attraction, Lucy the Elephant now wears a worn-out appearance with dilapidated wood and tin sheeting. This image serves as a reminder of the passage of time and how even grand structures can succumb to neglect. Arthur Gurmankin skillfully captures the essence of Lucy's decline, evoking emotions of both melancholy and intrigue. The photographer's keen eye allows us to appreciate every detail - from the intricate wooden carvings on her exterior to the faded charm that once made her shine. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back in time when Lucy was still bustling with life and visitors flocked to witness her unique beauty. It serves as a testament to our ever-changing world; reminding us that even landmarks can fall victim to neglect if not properly cared for. In this single frame frozen in history, Arthur Gurmankin invites us into an era long gone but not forgotten – where Lucy stood proud amidst Margate City's landscape.
