EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the New York skyline as viewed from Brooklyn between 1900 and 1920. The image captures the essence of the bustling city during an era of rapid industrialization and growth. The iconic skyline is dominated by the towering silhouettes of Manhattan's skyscrapers, including the distinctive triangular shape of the Woolworth Building. The East River, a vital waterway that separates Manhattan Island from the mainland, is dotted with docks, wharfs, and shipping vessels. The photograph, measuring 8 x 10 inches, is believed to have been taken during the 1910s or 1920s, a time when New York City was at the forefront of modernization and urban development. The photograph's intricate details and sharp contrasts suggest that it was captured using a dry plate or glass negative process, common during this period. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, which holds a vast repository of historical images documenting America's rich cultural heritage. The image is often attributed to either Edwin H. Husser or William A. Livingstone, two prominent photographers of the time, but the exact creator remains unknown. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of New York City and its iconic skyline, which continues to captivate and inspire generations. The image serves as a reminder of the city's dynamic past and its role as a global hub of commerce, culture, and innovation.
