EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NEWARK: GERMANTOWN, 1876" takes us back in time to the vibrant Germantown neighborhood in Newark, New Jersey. The wood engraving, created in 1876, beautifully captures the essence of this late 19th-century American community. In this snapshot of history, we are transported to a scene filled with life and activity. A wooden fence borders the exterior of the neighborhood, while people go about their daily lives on the bustling streets. The architecture reflects both German influences and North American styles prevalent during that era. The image showcases a hilltop farm where animals roam freely amidst farming activities. This glimpse into immigrant life highlights the significant role played by German settlers who contributed to shaping Newark's cultural landscape. As we observe closely, we can spot individuals taking leisurely walks or engaging in conversations along the street. Despite being labeled as a slum at that time, this engraving reveals an undeniable sense of community spirit and resilience among its residents. This historical photograph offers us a rare window into Newark's past - capturing not just buildings but also glimpses of daily life from over a century ago. It serves as a reminder of how neighborhoods evolve over time while still retaining traces of their rich heritage.
