EDITORS COMMENTS
This photomechanical print, created around 1901, showcases the majestic Saint Paul Building in New York City. The image, part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the urban landscape of the early 20th century in America. The Saint Paul Building, an architectural marvel of its time, stands tall and proud against the backdrop of the city. Designed by the renowned architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White, it was one of the first buildings in New York City to reach a height of over 300 feet. The building's Beaux-Arts style is evident in its grand façade, adorned with intricate details and ornate decorations. The photochrom process, used to create this print, adds a vibrant and colorful touch to the black and white original photograph. The technique, popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, involved the use of pigments to produce a more visually appealing image. The Saint Paul Building was home to the Detroit Publishing Company, which was a significant player in the publishing industry during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The company, founded by William A. Livingstone and Edwin H. Husher, was known for its high-quality reproductions of photographs and views of various cities and landscapes. This print, with its stunning view of the Saint Paul Building, is a testament to the rich history and heritage of New York City and the United States as a whole. It invites us to take a journey back in time and explore the urban landscape of a bygone era.
