EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a scene of bustling activity on the frozen Hudson River in 19th century New York. The print, titled "Ploughing and storing ice on the Hudson River" showcases a snapshot of American history during winter. In this detailed illustration by Lumley, we see men diligently ploughing through the icy surface with horses, while others store blocks of ice along the riverbank. The frozen landscape is dotted with various animals, including racehorses, ponies, shire horses, and stallions. A man can be seen walking with a cane or walking stick in hand, adding an air of sophistication to the scene. The image provides insight into how communities adapted to harsh winters in order to preserve essential resources like ice for refrigeration purposes. It also highlights the strong connection between humans and animals as they work together to accomplish tasks. This historical artwork offers us a glimpse into daily life in 19th century America - a time when cities were growing rapidly and technological advancements were transforming society. Through this engraving from Fine Art Finder's Bernard Platman Antiquarian Collection, we are transported back in time to witness an important aspect of American social history: the ingenuity and resilience of its people in adapting to their environment.
