EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Broadway, New York in 1856. Julius Bien, a German lithographer and artist, skillfully captured the essence of this vibrant cityscape from Canal to Grand Street on the West Side. The image is rich with detail and color, showcasing the diverse range of occupations and businesses that thrived during this era. As we explore the scene, our eyes are drawn to the array of buildings lining both sides of Broadway. From factories to hairdressers' salons, jewellers' shops to shoe stores, each establishment tells its own story about life in 19th century America. Carriages and omnibuses fill the streets as pedestrians go about their daily routines amidst a symphony of sounds created by musical instruments being played nearby. The hand coloring technique used by Julius Bien adds an extra layer of charm and authenticity to this lithograph. It brings out the vibrancy of gas-lit street lamps illuminating the busy thoroughfare at dusk. In one corner, we catch a glimpse of a sweet shop where children eagerly peer through its windows. This remarkable piece now resides in The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection - a testament to its historical significance and artistic merit. Through it, we can transport ourselves back in time and experience firsthand what life was like on Broadway over 150 years ago.
