EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling energy of cyclists on The Boulevard, later known as Broadway, in the late 1890s. The scene is a snapshot of a bygone era, where men and women alike took to their bicycles for leisure and sport.
The architecture of New York City's iconic buildings serves as a backdrop to this lively street scene. As cyclists pedal along the wide boulevard, they are surrounded by grand structures that still stand tall today.
The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when cycling was not only a popular mode of transportation but also a social activity enjoyed by many. The sight of bikers in their period-appropriate attire adds an extra layer of charm to the photograph.
One can almost hear the sound of bicycle bells ringing and feel the excitement in the air as these cyclists navigate through the busy streets. It is truly a moment frozen in time, offering us a glimpse into what life was like in turn-of-the-century New York City.
This print from Fine Art Finder is not just an image; it is a window into history, allowing us to connect with our past and appreciate how much has changed – and yet remained the same – over the years.
