EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling city of New York in the year 1870. Created by renowned artists Currier and Ives, this lithograph beautifully captures the essence of a rapidly growing metropolis. The image showcases a vibrant cityscape with towering buildings that dot Manhattan Island, standing as testaments to American progress and ambition. The East River gracefully flows alongside the city, while ships of all sizes navigate its waters. From majestic warships to steamships and trade vessels, water transport plays a vital role in connecting New York City to other parts of the world. The harbor serves as a gateway for international trade, symbolizing America's emergence as an economic powerhouse during this era. Looking closely at this historical gem, one can appreciate the intricate details that bring it to life: from colorful facades adorning buildings to busy streets teeming with people engaged in their daily routines. This lithograph offers us a glimpse into how New York looked over 150 years ago—a testament to both its rich history and enduring spirit. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect on how far our beloved city has come since then—evolving into one of the most iconic urban landscapes on Earth. It stands as a reminder of New York's resilience and unwavering ability to adapt and thrive throughout centuries of change.
