EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by an American photographer in the 19th century, showcases the bustling scene of feeding millions of New York City residents with fish. The image is part of a private collection and was featured in the book "Around the World with a Camera" published by Leslie-Judge Company in 1910. The photo takes us back to early 20th-century New York City, where we witness the vibrant fishing industry at Fulton Market. Dealers are seen unloading their finny cargo from smacks onto the wharf while marketmen diligently work to transport them using wheelbarrows. Flounders, among other types of fish, fill up this lively marketplace. The candid nature of this shot allows us to glimpse into a significant aspect of New York's history - its reliance on fishing as a means to feed its growing population. Fishing implements such as lines can be spotted scattered around, highlighting the importance and scale of this industry during that era. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident how wildlife played an essential role not only in sustaining human life but also shaping urban landscapes like New York City. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence within early twentieth-century photography.
