EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic view of the Borough of the Bronx, as seen from Washington Heights across the Harlem River. Taken by an American photographer in the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The photograph was originally featured as an illustration for "The New Metropolis" edited by E Idell Zeisloft and published in 1899. In this scene, we are transported back to a time when New York City was still developing into the bustling metropolis it is today. The photo showcases the charm and character of both boroughs, with their distinct architectural styles and vibrant city life. Looking closely at the image, one can observe disabled shipbuilders working along the riverbank, adding a touch of industrial history to this picturesque view. This serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and growth, there are always stories woven into every corner of a city. As we gaze upon this snapshot from America's past, we cannot help but marvel at how far our society has come since then. It reminds us that cities are living entities constantly evolving with time. This photograph stands as a testament to our shared heritage and serves as inspiration for future generations to continue shaping these urban landscapes into something extraordinary.
