EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a bustling scene on W. 28th Street in New York City, taken on July 29,1916. The focal point of the image is the prominent sign for the Palace Restaurant, which stands out against the backdrop of other storefronts and buildings lining the street. Pedestrians can be seen walking along the sidewalk, going about their daily routines. The sidewalks are filled with activity as people navigate their way through this vibrant cityscape. The signs adorning various shops add to the visual cacophony of advertisements and business names competing for attention. The Palace Restaurant sign itself is eye-catching with its bold lettering and elegant design. It serves as a beacon to passersby, inviting them into this establishment known for its fine dining experience. Captured by photographer William Davis Hassler (1877-1921), this image was commissioned by Lawrence L. Strauss, who wanted to document life in early 20th century New York City. It now resides in the collection of the New-York Historical Society. This photograph offers us a glimpse into a bygone era - an America that was rapidly evolving but still retained elements of its past charm and character. It reminds us of how businesses once advertised themselves before digital screens dominated our urban landscapes.
