EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage linen postcard captures the timeless beauty of The Channel Gardens at Rockefeller Center in New York City. Dating back to 1951, this print showcases a midsummer view of the world-famous Prometheus Fountain, surrounded by vibrant flowers and lush greenery. In the background, we can see the iconic United Nations Building on Rockefeller Plaza, proudly displaying flags from nations around the globe. The image transports us to a different era, where visitors would stroll along these gardens, taking in their serene atmosphere and marveling at the grandeur of Rockefeller Center. The fountain itself stands as a symbol of enlightenment and progress with its majestic bronze figure of Prometheus holding fire above his head. As we gaze upon this postcard print today, it serves as a nostalgic reminder of New York's rich history and cultural significance. It encapsulates an era when people would send such postcards to share their experiences with loved ones or collect them as cherished mementos. Universal Images Group (UIG) has preserved this remarkable piece of art that not only represents an architectural masterpiece but also reflects the spirit and diversity embodied by both Rockefeller Center and New York City itself. This photograph is more than just an image; it is a window into our past—a testament to human creativity and resilience that continues to inspire generations even today.
