EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by BL Singley takes us back to the vibrant streets of The Bowery in 1900. The Bowery was not only a street but also a small neighborhood located in southern Manhattan. Its name originated from its historical connection to the boweries or farms that once occupied this area during early settlement. In this image, we are transported to a time when steam trains and trams dominated the city's transportation system. The overhead railway casts shadows on the busy road below as pedestrians navigate their way through bustling traffic. This monochrome snapshot captures the essence of a rapidly growing metropolis with its constant movement and energy. The artist's use of stereoscopic photography adds depth and dimension to this scene, allowing us to immerse ourselves in every detail. From the intricate architecture lining both sides of the street to the vintage advertisements adorning buildings, each element tells a story about life in turn-of-the-century America. BL Singley skillfully captures an era where horse-drawn carriages shared lanes with emerging modes of transport like trams and trains. This print serves as a visual time capsule, transporting viewers back over a century ago to experience firsthand what it was like walking down The Bowery. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved through photography, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed while appreciating how
