EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph, titled "Upper and Lower Bay of New York, c. 1881" takes us back in time to the bustling cityscape of late 19th century Manhattan. The print showcases a panoramic view from the Battery, looking southwest towards the Upper and Lower Bays of New York Harbor. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every building, ship, and fortification is meticulously depicted with vibrant colours that bring life to the scene. From Castle Garden to Bedloes Island (now known as Liberty Island), each landmark tells a story of New York's rich history. As we gaze upon this visual masterpiece, we can almost hear the sounds of seagulls soaring above and feel the cool breeze coming off the Hudson River. Vessels dotting the water add movement and energy to an already dynamic composition. Currier and Ives were renowned for their ability to capture iconic American landscapes through their prints. In this particular piece, they have expertly portrayed both natural beauty and human activity coexisting harmoniously within one frame. Whether you are a lover of history or simply appreciate fine art, this print transports you back in time while reminding us how much has changed since then. It serves as a testament to New York City's enduring spirit - always evolving yet forever rooted in its past.
