EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by Arnold Genthe between 1931 and 1938, presents a breathtaking view of New York City's skyline as seen from the water. The image transports us back in time to the 1930s, a decade marked by economic hardship and transformation. The iconic skyline of Manhattan Island, New York, United States of America, is dominated by the towering silhouettes of skyscrapers, including the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building, which had recently been completed. The Hudson River, a major geographical feature and vital transportation route, is dotted with boats and barges, adding to the bustling activity. In the distance, the silhouette of Ellis Island, a symbol of America's immigrant heritage, can be seen. This photograph, taken as a nitrate negative, is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of New York City during the 20th century. The Library of Congress, a renowned repository of American heritage art, holds this valuable piece of visual history in its collection, inviting us to reflect on the city's past and its continued evolution.
