EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of The Woolworth Building in New York City. Taken by an American photographer in the 19th century, it provides a glimpse into the prestigious Empire Room, which served as the executive office for the President of F W Woolworth Co. The image captures an era of opulence and extravagance, with luxurious French-inspired furniture adorning the room. It exudes wealth and power, reminiscent of Napoleon's reign. The photograph transports us back to 1917 when this iconic skyscraper stood tall amidst Manhattan's bustling cityscape. The Woolworth Building itself is a symbol of architectural brilliance, towering above its surroundings with grace and elegance. This picture serves as an illustration for a booklet titled "The Cathedral of Commerce" emphasizing its significance in New York's commercial landscape. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from a private collection, we are reminded of both French culture and European influence on American soil. It represents a fusion between France and America - two nations united through artistry and ambition. With its rich history intertwined with tales of success and prosperity, The Woolworth Building continues to be an emblematic landmark that defines Lower Manhattan's skyline. This print encapsulates not only its physical beauty but also the spirit of achievement that embodies New York City itself.
