EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to the bustling streets of Brooklyn in the 1700s. The image showcases a vibrant scene at the Brooklyn Ferry, where colonists eagerly load wagons onto a sailing ship bound for Long Island across the East River. The historic illustration beautifully captures the essence of this early American settlement, with its charming houses and lively street activity. As oxen pull carts laden with goods towards the dock, one can almost hear the sounds of bustling trade and feel the energy that filled this sea port. The artwork serves as a window into our nation's heritage, reminding us of an era when transportation relied on boats and ferries were vital lifelines connecting communities. It offers a glimpse into daily life during colonial times, revealing how people navigated their world before modern infrastructure transformed these landscapes. As we admire this vintage piece of art, it is impossible not to be transported back in time and imagine what it must have been like to witness such scenes firsthand. This print stands as a testament to both our rich history and artistic craftsmanship from centuries past
