EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the outskirts of New York City in the mid-1960s. The image captures a serene square, nestled amidst the bustling urban landscape. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we are immediately drawn to the architectural elements that define this space. The focal point of the photograph is an elegant building with large windows that allow natural light to flood its interior. Its structure stands tall and proud, showcasing intricate decoration and sections that speak volumes about its rich history. A set of stairs leads up to a grand entrance, inviting passersby into what could be a residential or commercial space. Surrounding this magnificent edifice is a stockade fence, adding both security and charm to the square. Laundry hangs from lines strung between buildings nearby, giving us insight into daily life during this era. These small details remind us that even in such an urban environment, people found ways to create their own domestic spaces within these city limits. As our eyes wander through the frame, we notice various pieces of furniture scattered around – benches for weary pedestrians seeking respite or perhaps a place for locals to gather and socialize under shady trees on warm summer days. This print by Alinari beautifully encapsulates not only architecture but also tells stories about community life at that particular moment in history. It serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while still preserving pockets of tradition and culture within their ever-changing landscapes.
