EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by Edwin Levick in circa 1902, transports us back to the bustling streets of Herald Square in New York City. The image beautifully captures a moment in time when crowds of people filled the cityscape, moving about on foot or being transported by horse-drawn carriages and trolleys. In this snapshot of history, we witness the vibrant energy of early 20th century urban life. The vertical composition emphasizes the towering buildings that surround Herald Square, creating a sense of grandeur and awe. Amidst the sea of people, one can spot individuals smoking cigarettes - a common sight during an era when smoking was prevalent. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the scene while highlighting details such as push carts dotting the street. This archival photograph not only documents daily life but also offers glimpses into fashion trends with men dressed in suits and women adorned in long dresses. Edwin Levick's masterful capture encapsulates both movement and stillness simultaneously - frozen moments within a dynamic cityscape. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we are reminded of how cities evolve over time yet retain their essence as cultural hubs. This remarkable piece invites us to reflect on our own place within the ever-changing tapestry of urban existence while paying homage to New York City's enduring spirit.
