EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of New York City on January 6,1917. The image showcases the iconic Jefferson Theatre, a beacon of entertainment in its time. William Davis Hassler skillfully captures the essence of this vibrant cityscape, with its dazzling array of lights and signs illuminating the night. The storefronts lining the streets are adorned with eye-catching displays, enticing passersby into their shops. The Jefferson Theatre stands proudly amidst this lively scene, its marquee shining brightly against the darkened sky. It is easy to imagine the excitement that must have filled these streets as theatergoers eagerly awaited a night of vaudeville performances within those hallowed walls. As we gaze at this photograph from over a century ago, we are transported to an era when America was experiencing rapid growth and cultural transformation. The image serves as a testament to both the artistic talent behind capturing such moments in time and our enduring fascination with history. Preserved by the New-York Historical Society's collection, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It reminds us of how far we have come while also serving as a reminder that even in our fast-paced modern world, there is still magic to be found in stepping back and appreciating timeless works like this one.
