EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the construction of one of New York City's most iconic landmarks - the Woolworth Building. Taken circa 1912 by renowned photographer Edwin Levick, this image showcases the grandeur and ambition that defined America's architectural landscape during this era. Designed by Cass Gilbert and completed in 1913, the Woolworth Building proudly held the title of world's tallest building for nearly two decades. Standing tall amidst a bustling cityscape, it symbolized progress and innovation in both design and engineering. The Post Office building can be seen in the foreground, soon to be demolished to make way for an expanded City Hall Park. Levick's masterful use of photography accentuates every intricate detail of this magnificent structure. The vertical format emphasizes its towering height while capturing its elegance against a backdrop of urban energy. This archival photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, let us reflect on how such architectural marvels continue to shape our cities today. From finance to culture, from skyscrapers to post offices, each element within this frame tells a story about America's past while inspiring future generations with its timeless beauty.
