EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on this image of P.T. Barnum's Museum in New York City, USA, as it stood proudly in the late 1850s. This photograph, taken in 1857 by an unknown artist, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the bustling streets of the Empire City. The Museum, located on the corner of Broadway and Ann Street, was one of the most popular attractions during the mid-19th century. P.T. Barnum, the visionary showman and entrepreneur, opened the doors to his Museum in 1842, and it quickly became a sensation. The building, a three-story red brick structure, was adorned with intricate details, including ornate columns, arches, and a grand entranceway. The Museum housed an eclectic collection of curiosities and wonders from around the world, including a two-headed calf, a mermaid, and a giant human skeleton. Barnum's marketing tactics were unconventional, and he famously coined the phrase, "There's a sucker born every minute," which became synonymous with his ability to attract a crowd. The street scene in this photograph is bustling with activity. Horse-drawn carriages line the cobblestone streets, while pedestrians, dressed in the fashion of the day, make their way through the crowds. A vendor on the corner sells roses, adding a touch of color and fragrance to the scene. This photograph is a rare and precious souvenir from the past, offering a glimpse into the world of P.T. Barnum and the wonders of the 1850s in New York City, USA.
