EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 19th century, capturing the grandeur of the Otis Elevator Factory in Yonkers, New York. The image showcases a bustling scene outside the factory, with horse-drawn wagons and workers going about their daily tasks. The towering smokestacks billow thick plumes of smoke into the sky, reminding us of a time when industrialization was at its peak. This engraving beautifully captures the exterior of this iconic American building, highlighting its architectural details and impressive size. The Otis Elevator Factory played a significant role in shaping North America's urban landscape during this period. As one of the leading elevator manufacturers at that time, Otis revolutionized vertical transportation by introducing safe and reliable elevators to high-rise buildings across cities. While this print does not mention commercial use explicitly, it serves as a historical document that reflects an era marked by rapid industrial growth and technological advancements. It reminds us of how far we have come in terms of engineering marvels like elevators while also prompting contemplation on environmental concerns such as pollution caused by factories. Overall, this wood engraving from The Granger Collection offers viewers a glimpse into America's past - an era defined by progress and innovation - through its depiction of the magnificent Otis Elevator Factory.
