EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving from 1851 showcases James Bogardus' groundbreaking cast-iron building at 97 Murray Street in New York City. The image transports us back to a time when the city was undergoing rapid urbanization and industrialization. In this bustling scene, we witness the birth of modern architecture as Bogardus pioneers the use of cast iron in construction. His innovative design stands tall amidst a growing skyline, symbolizing progress and innovation. The streets below are teeming with daily life; horse-drawn wagons navigate through crowds of people going about their business. The air is thick with smoke emitted by nearby factories, reminding us of the pollution that accompanied industrial growth. This engraving captures not only architectural advancements but also provides a glimpse into transportation during this era. It serves as a reminder that horses were once an integral part of city life before automobiles took over. As we examine this historical artifact, it becomes evident that New York City was evolving rapidly during this period - transforming from a modest settlement into an industrial powerhouse. This print offers us a window into the past and invites contemplation on how far our cities have come since then.
