EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Old House, Corner of Peck Slip and Water Street (from Scenes of Old New York), 1870" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century America. The aged architecture stands tall against the backdrop of Manhattan Island, showcasing the rich heritage and history that defines this great city. The image captures a wooden building with sloping roofs and multiple chimneys, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. Three men can be seen standing near the street corner, adding a human element to the scene. Their presence reminds us of the settlers who once inhabited these old houses and contributed to shaping New York City into what it is today. Henry Farrer's etching technique beautifully brings out every intricate detail in this snapshot from old New York. The use of black and white adds depth to the composition, emphasizing both light and shadow in an artistic manner. Displayed at The Met museum, this photograph serves as a visual time capsule that transports viewers back in time. It invites contemplation on how urban landscapes have evolved over centuries while preserving fragments of their past. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece by Henry Farrer, we are reminded not only of our country's architectural legacy but also its continuous transformation throughout history.
