EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1867 transports us back to a vibrant summer day at Coney Island, Brooklyn. The image captures the essence of leisure and daily life in America during this time period. As we gaze upon the print, we are immediately drawn to the bustling crowd that fills the beach. People of all ages can be seen enjoying themselves, engaging in various activities synonymous with summertime fun. The beach is alive with energy as individuals swim and bathe in the refreshing waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. Children build sandcastles while others relax under colorful umbrellas or take leisurely strolls along the shoreline. This snapshot provides a glimpse into an era when Coney Island was rapidly becoming a popular destination for New Yorkers seeking respite from city life. The wood engraving showcases remarkable detail, allowing us to observe not only the people but also elements of architecture and fashion indicative of that era. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation. As we admire this piece by The Granger Collection, it reminds us that even over a century ago, Coney Island held its allure as a place where people could escape their daily routines and immerse themselves in carefree moments by the sea.
