EDITORS COMMENTS
NEW YORK: BLACKOUT, 1965. This print captures the dramatic scene of the Brooklyn waterfront and the iconic Manhattan skyline during the Northeast Blackout in 1965. Taken by Stanley Wolfson on November 9th, this image showcases a city plunged into darkness yet still exuding an undeniable allure. In this snapshot, we see the silhouette of towering skyscrapers against a pitch-black sky, their illuminated windows serving as beacons amidst the chaos. The absence of streetlights and city lights allows for a rare glimpse into New York City's nocturnal beauty. The Brooklyn waterfront is depicted with its piers stretching out into obscurity while a solitary freighter floats silently along the darkened East River. The photograph perfectly encapsulates both tranquility and mystery; it invites viewers to ponder what lies beyond the frame and imagine life within these shadowed buildings. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of crisis, there is an inherent resilience embedded within urban landscapes. This historical artifact from Granger Art on Demand offers us a window into one night that forever left its mark on New York City's history. It reminds us of our shared human experience - how unexpected events can shape our perception of familiar places and ignite our collective spirit.
