EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a bustling scene at the south-west corner of 14th Street and 3rd Avenue in Manhattan, New York City, around 1905. The image showcases a vibrant cityscape filled with various elements of daily life. In the foreground, we see pedestrians going about their business on the busy streets, while billboards catch their attention. The focal point of the photo is the Star Candies store, which stands prominently on the corner. Next to it is a dentist's office, symbolizing both commerce and healthcare in this urban setting. Adjacent to these establishments are the Regal Shoe store and Empire Film Co. , representing different facets of early cinema and entertainment culture. The photograph also provides glimpses of historical infrastructure such as a girder from the elevated railroad that once traversed along 3rd Avenue. This detail adds depth to our understanding of transportation systems during that time period. Captured by Byron Company, an American photography studio active from 1890 to 1942, this gelatin silver print offers us a window into early twentieth-century America. It reflects not only street scenes but also social history through its depiction of businesses and industries like dentistry and film production. Preserved by Museum of the City of New York's eMuseum collection today, this image invites viewers to explore an era when movies were still new forms of entertainment amidst ever-evolving city landscapes.
