EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph, titled "New York Ferry Boat, c. 1860-65" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th-century New York City. The print showcases a magnificent ferryboat navigating the waters with elegance and power. The flag proudly flutters atop the vessel, displaying the stars and stripes that symbolize unity and freedom in the United States. A steam engine billows smoke into the air, hinting at the remarkable technological advancements of its time. As we peer closer, we notice a paddlewheel churning through the water beneath the deck's wooden planks. This ingenious mechanism propels this American marvel forward on its journey across North America's vast waterways. The artists behind this masterpiece, Currier and Ives, have expertly captured both the grandeur and functionality of this iconic mode of transportation. Their attention to detail is evident in every stroke as they bring life to each element - from intricate smokestacks to meticulously colored funnels. This lithograph not only serves as a visual delight but also offers a glimpse into an era when steamboats were at their peak popularity for travel and trade along America's rivers and coastlines. Now preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this historic artwork continues to captivate viewers with its depiction of an essential part of American history - one that forever changed how people moved across land and sea.
