EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Walker Evans in 1938, we are transported back to the early days of New York City. The image captures a woman sitting in the window of her apartment on 61st Street between 1st and 3rd Avenues. Her presence is both mysterious and intriguing, as she gazes out onto the bustling streets below. The composition of the photograph draws our attention to several elements that define this era: the intricate ironwork framing the window, characteristic of Manhattan architecture; the worn-out exterior of the building, revealing its age; and glimpses of anonymous passersby going about their daily lives. Evans' skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to this snapshot in time. The play between light streaming through the window and shadows cast upon it creates a sense of intimacy within an otherwise public space. As we observe this scene frozen in history, we can't help but wonder about this woman's story. Who is she? What thoughts occupy her mind as she sits there? Is she contemplating her place within a rapidly changing city? This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst towering skyscrapers and bustling streets, moments like these capture humanity's quiet resilience against an ever-evolving urban landscape.
