EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph titled "Before and at the Crack of the Whip" captures a moment in 19th century America, showcasing the vibrant energy of New York City. Taken by an American photographer whose identity remains unknown, this print is now part of a private collection. The image depicts members of the Meadowbrook Club preparing for a hunt, their horses lined up in anticipation. The scene exudes both elegance and excitement as riders clad in traditional hunting attire gather together before embarking on their adventure. This illustration originally appeared in The New Metropolis, edited by E Idell Zeisloft and published by D Appleton in 1899. With its sharp contrast between light and shadow, this photograph beautifully encapsulates a significant era in American history. It serves as a reminder of the city's rich cultural heritage and its deep connection to outdoor pursuits such as hunting. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are transported back to an age when horse-drawn carriages traversed bustling streets, when society embraced traditions that have since evolved or faded away entirely. Through this evocative image, we catch glimpses of life before skyscrapers dominated Manhattan's skyline – a time when New York was still establishing itself as one of the greatest cities on earth. This historic photograph offers us not only visual delight but also invites contemplation about how much has changed over time while reminding us to cherish our shared heritage.
