EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless moment in history, showcasing the Riverside Monument in all its grandeur. Taken around 1915 by the talented photographer Edwin Levick, this image transports us back to an era where children rode their bicycles freely amidst the bustling cityscape of Manhattan's Riverside Park. The Soldiers and Sailors Monument stands tall and proud, paying homage to the brave veterans who fought valiantly in both the Civil War and Spanish-American War. Its majestic design is reminiscent of ancient Greek architecture, with columns inspired by the iconic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a scene filled with youthful energy as children joyfully pedal their bicycles near this historic landmark. The selective focus draws our attention to these carefree riders against a backdrop of a crowd that has gathered at this famous place. Edwin Levick's masterful use of photography adds depth and character to every detail captured within this frame. As we gaze upon this archival piece, we are transported back to early 20th-century America - a time when war heroes were honored, childhood innocence thrived on two wheels, and Manhattan's Riverside Park was alive with activity. This remarkable print serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's history while also capturing the beauty found within everyday moments that transcend time itself.
