EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving from 1879 transports us back in time to the bustling Coney Island Pier. The image showcases the new Iron Pier at West Brighton Beach, a testament to American engineering prowess during this era. The scene is alive with activity as men and women stroll along the boardwalk, enjoying the warm summer day. Some are dressed in their finest attire, donning stylish hats and carrying parasols to shield themselves from the sun's rays. Others have opted for a more casual beach look, ready for a refreshing swim or leisurely walk on the sandy shore. The pier itself stands proudly against the backdrop of an expansive beachscape, its iron structure reaching out into the sparkling waters of Brooklyn's coastline. It serves as a hub of excitement and entertainment for both locals and visitors alike. This wood engraving captures not only a moment in history but also reflects daily life during this period - people seeking respite from city living by flocking to popular seaside destinations like Coney Island. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but imagine ourselves transported back to that time - feeling the cool ocean breeze on our faces while immersing ourselves in all that Coney Island had to offer over a century ago.
