EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an unidentified industrial waterfront site in the early 20th century. Taken between 1910 and 1921 by William Davis Hassler, this image offers a glimpse into the bustling cityscape of New York City during a time of rapid industrialization. The photograph showcases a group of workers amidst their daily tasks, surrounded by the tools and machinery of Robbins & Ripley Co. Engineers & Contractors. The exact location remains unknown, but the scene exudes an air of productivity and ambition that defined America's booming industry at the time. The warehouses lining the waterfront stand tall against the backdrop of Manhattan's skyline, showcasing architectural prowess and serving as symbols of progress. The construction activity hints at ongoing development projects that shaped New York City's urban landscape. With its gritty charm, this photograph encapsulates both the harsh realities faced by workers in an emerging industrial society and their unwavering determination to build a brighter future. It serves as a testament to American ingenuity, coastal commerce, and maritime heritage. Preserved within the collection of the New-York Historical Society, this historic snapshot invites viewers to step back in time and immerse themselves in an era where laborers played pivotal roles in shaping cities like New York into what they are today.
