"Passersby: A Glimpse into the Timeless Tapestry of Urban Life" Step back in time and witness the bustling streets of yesteryears through a collection of captivating artworks. From Big Ben's majestic presence to Wall Street's vibrant energy, these masterpieces transport us to iconic locations that have witnessed countless passersby. In 1897 or 1907, an artist skillfully captured the essence of Big Ben with gouache and watercolor on paper. The clock tower stands tall, its chimes echoing through the city as people hurriedly make their way along the cobblestone streets. Traveling across continents, we find ourselves in New York City's Wall Street in 1898. Through lithography, this artwork immortalizes the financial district's grandeur and ambition. Traders rush by, consumed by their pursuit of wealth amidst towering buildings that seem to touch the sky. Bern with Belltower takes us to Switzerland in 1935. With meticulous brushstrokes on canvas, an artist brings life to Bern's charming streetscape adorned with a bell tower standing proudly against a backdrop of rolling hills. Passersby stroll leisurely, taking in the beauty surrounding them. The Pincian Hill beckons us further into history—a wondrous blend of watercolor and pen and ink on paper transports us to Rome during an era lost in time. As sunlight dances upon ancient ruins and lush greenery adorns every corner, passersby revel in moments frozen forever within this artwork. Easter Sunday on Fifth Ave. , New York City—lithography from 1898 captures a momentous occasion when joyous crowds fill one of Manhattan's most iconic avenues. Adorned with elegant attire and festive hats, families parade past opulent storefronts while horse-drawn carriages add charm to this lively scene. The Fifth Avenue Hotel on Madison Square emerges from another lithograph dating back to 1896.
