EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1905 by the Byron Company, offers a nostalgic glimpse into the bustling streets of New York City. The image showcases the storefront of the International Shoe Co. , an iconic establishment that catered to footwear enthusiasts during its heyday. Measuring at 20.3x25.4 cm, this silver gelatin print captures every intricate detail with remarkable clarity. The focal point of the composition is undoubtedly "The Merit Shoe" prominently displayed in large letters on the shop window. Priced at a mere . 50 cents, it enticed passersby with its affordability and quality craftsmanship. A young man stands outside, perhaps contemplating his next purchase or simply admiring the latest shoe trends showcased within. The architectural elements surrounding the storefront exude a sense of grandeur and sophistication typical of early 20th-century New York City buildings. This photograph serves as a testament to both American commercialism and urban life during this era. Preserved within the Museum of the City of New York's collection, this piece not only captures an important moment in history but also highlights photography's ability to immortalize fleeting moments for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand what life was like for shoppers seeking fashionable footwear in early 1900s NYC.
