EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view of Times Square in the early 1930s takes us back to a bustling era of advertising, traffic, and vibrant city life. The photograph, captured by Frederic Lewis, showcases an iconic scene with its array of visible advertisements that dominated the skyline. As we look down upon this lively intersection in New York City, our eyes are drawn to the prominent ads for Chevrolet, Wrigley's chewing gum, Coca-Cola, and Camel cigarettes. These larger-than-life signs illuminate the streets below with their neon glow, creating a mesmerizing spectacle against the backdrop of towering buildings. The image captures not only the commercial aspect but also reveals glimpses into daily life during this time period. Despite being devoid of people in this particular shot, one can imagine pedestrians navigating through the sea of vehicles on their way to work or leisurely strolling along these busy streets. The architectural grandeur is evident as well; it reflects both artistry and functionality as skyscrapers rise majestically around Times Square. This photograph serves as a testament to how transportation played a vital role in shaping cities like New York during that era. Frederic Lewis skillfully immortalizes an important chapter in American history through his lens. This archival print transports viewers back to an exciting time when Times Square was at its prime – a symbol of progress and consumerism that still captivates audiences today.
