EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a bustling scene inside the pantry of the iconic Hotel Manhattan in 1902. The silver gelatin print, taken by renowned photographer Byron Company, offers a glimpse into the inner workings of this prestigious establishment located at 42nd Street and Madison Avenue in New York. In this image, we see a group of busy waiters clad in crisp aprons attending to their various tasks. Some are seen meticulously arranging bottles of liquor on shelves while others engage in telephonic conversations, perhaps taking orders or coordinating services for the hotel's esteemed guests. The air is filled with an atmosphere of efficiency as staff members work together to ensure that every detail is attended to. The pantry itself exudes an aura of sophistication and elegance. Rows upon rows of wine bottles line the shelves, ready to be served to discerning patrons seeking a taste of luxury. A sommelier can be spotted amidst the commotion, carefully inspecting one bottle before pouring its contents into a glass for tasting. This photograph not only showcases the meticulous organization and attention given to storing alcoholic beverages but also provides us with a snapshot into early 20th-century hospitality practices. It serves as a testament to both the dedication and skill required by hotel staff during this era. Preserved within the Museum of City New York's collection, this remarkable image stands as a reminder of our rich history and offers viewers an opportunity to step back in time and witness firsthand how hotels operated over a century ago.
