EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of bustling city life on a sunny day in New York City, May 2,1916. The focal point of the image is the iconic Canterbury Lunch sign at 202 (or 178) E. 125th Street, standing proudly amidst a sea of pedestrians and storefronts. The sign's bold lettering invites passersby to indulge in a delectable meal or perhaps savor an ice cream treat from this beloved establishment. The scene is alive with activity as people traverse the busy sidewalks, their presence adding depth and character to the composition. The surrounding buildings stand tall and sturdy, bearing witness to countless stories unfolding within their walls. One cannot help but be transported back in time by this snapshot of early twentieth-century America. It encapsulates an era when local businesses thrived alongside one another, each offering its unique charm and services to a vibrant community. Photographed by William Davis Hassler for Lawrence L. Strauss, this image now resides within the esteemed collection of the New-York Historical Society. Its preservation allows us to appreciate not only the visual beauty captured through photography but also serves as a testament to our shared history.
