EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The Beach at Rockaway, N.Y. between 1900 and 1906,' showcases a bustling seaside scene at Rockaway Beach in Queens, New York City, USA. The image, created between the early 1900s and 1906, captures the essence of a popular summer destination during an era of leisure and relaxation. The photograph, which measures 8 x 10 inches, is a testament to the past, revealing a time when the Atlantic Ocean served as a much-loved escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The waterfront is dotted with various structures, including a pavilion and a roller coaster, which add to the excitement and energy of the scene. The sandy beach is filled with people of all ages, enjoying the sun, sea, and sand. Children play in the shallow waters, while men and women lounge on the beach, soaking up the sun. A man in a suit, perhaps a businessman on a break from work, stands near the water's edge, gazing out at the ocean. The photograph was likely taken using a dry plate negative or glass negative process, which was a common method for producing high-quality images during this time period. The image is now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, a national treasure trove of American heritage and art. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of Rockaway Beach and the surrounding neighborhood, which continues to be a popular recreational destination for visitors and locals alike.
