EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history on August 30, 1917, as the 27th Division (National Guard of New York) parades down 5th Avenue in New York City during World War I. The image shows girls leaning over a balcony to catch a glimpse of the soldiers marching below, while crowds gather on the sidewalk to watch with patriotic fervor.
The scene is bustling with energy and excitement as American flags wave proudly in the air and banners flutter above the heads of spectators. The architectural features of Franklin Simon store and Lord & Taylor provide a backdrop to this historic event, adding to the grandeur of the occasion.
As men in uniform march by with determination and pride, children can be seen eagerly watching from the sidelines, soaking in every moment of this display of military strength. This snapshot frozen in time encapsulates a pivotal era in American history when unity and patriotism were at an all-time high.
The black-and-white imagery adds a sense of nostalgia to this powerful photograph, reminding us of the sacrifices made by those who served their country during times of conflict. It serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's rich heritage and enduring spirit that continues to inspire generations today.
