EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Fifth Avenue and Madison Square in New York City, circa 1897. The image showcases the iconic Fifth Avenue Hotel, a magnificent structure built between 1856-59 by Amos Richards Eno at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway. Standing tall amidst a sea of pedestrians, this architectural gem exudes grandeur and elegance. Madison Square, named after James Madison, the fourth President of the United States, serves as an enchanting backdrop to this snapshot of city life. The park's lush greenery provides respite from the busy urban environment surrounding it. The aerial view captured in this photograph offers a unique perspective on Manhattan Island during that era. It allows us to appreciate both the vastness of this metropolis and its intricate details simultaneously. This historic image is part of "A Tour Through the New World America" a book written by Professor Geo. R. Cromwell in 1897. Its inclusion in his literary work speaks volumes about its significance as an artistic representation of American culture during that time period. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back to a time when horse-drawn carriages traversed these streets instead of modern vehicles. It serves as a reminder not only of how much has changed over time but also how certain landmarks continue to shape our understanding and appreciation for history today.
