EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1861, offering a glimpse into the past of Bedlow Island from Communipaw Avenue in Jersey City, New Jersey. The artist, John M. August Will, skillfully captures this serene scene with his ink on paper drawing. The image showcases the rural beauty of Bedlow Island amidst the bustling New York Harbor. In the foreground, we see a quaint village nestled along the Hudson River's edge, with charming houses dotting the landscape. A few ships gracefully sail through these waters, adding a touch of movement to an otherwise tranquil setting. Bedlow Island itself stands proudly in the distance - its lush greenery contrasting against the vastness of Manhattan's skyline that looms behind it. This island would later become known as Liberty Island and serve as home to one of America's most iconic symbols: Lady Liberty herself. Through this pen and wash drawing, Will transports us back in time to an era when rural areas still existed within close proximity to urban centers like New York City. It is a testament to both his artistic talent and his ability to capture not just physical landscapes but also historical moments frozen in time. As we gaze upon this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection at Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how art can transport us across centuries and evoke emotions tied deeply to our shared history as Americans.
