EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed view of "The City of New York" in 1883, captured through the artistry of colour lithography. Created by Currier and Ives, renowned American artists of their time, this piece is a true gem from a private collection. The focal point is the Equitable Life Assurance Society building located at No. 120 Broadway, an iconic symbol of progress and prosperity during that era. In addition to highlighting this architectural marvel, the print also features the majestic East River Suspension Bridge (Brooklyn Bridge), which was inaugurated in 1883 as it connected the bustling cities of New York and Brooklyn. This panoramic scene captures the essence of urban life with its busy streets, sailing ships navigating through waterways, and paddle steamers gracefully gliding along. As you explore this image further, you'll notice how it beautifully depicts Manhattan's sprawling cityscape with its grid-like road network and bridges spanning across rivers. The aerial perspective provides a bird's eye view that allows us to appreciate not only the growth and expansion taking place but also the transportation systems vital for connecting different parts of this metropolis. "The City of New York (detail), 1883" offers us a glimpse into America's past while showcasing Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving historical artwork for future generations to enjoy.
