EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of New York City in 1873. Titled "Looking down Broad Street from Wall" it offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the vibrant energy and daily life of this iconic city. The illustration is taken from Henry Collins Brown's renowned book, "Old New York: Yesterday and Today" published in 1922. In this vividly colored lithograph, we see a sea of pedestrians filling the sidewalks as they go about their day. The street is teeming with activity, capturing the essence of urban life during that era. Notably, this image holds historical significance as it depicts Black Friday - the infamous day when the Stock Market crashed in 1873. The Western Union Telegraph building stands tall on one side of Broad Street, symbolizing progress and communication at that time. It serves as a reminder of how technology has evolved over centuries. This photograph print not only showcases an important moment in American history but also invites us to reflect on how much our world has changed since then. It reminds us that amidst all transformations and advancements, some things remain constant – like crowded streets filled with people going about their lives. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to a bygone era where horse-drawn carriages shared space with bustling crowds. It serves as a testament to both the resilience and ever-changing nature of New York City throughout its rich history.
