EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling energy of Washington, Madison, and Union Squares in New York City during the late 19th century. Taken by William James Palmer in 1874, this image showcases a vibrant scene filled with pedestrians and carriages traversing the squares. Union Square, located at the bend of Broadway, stands as a social hub surrounded by magnificent hotels and thriving businesses on one side, while elegant brownstone houses line its other boundaries. The Worth Monument takes center stage at the right of the frame, adding a touch of grandeur to this already picturesque setting. The photo is part of "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant. This volume serves as an artistic portrayal through pen and pencil illustrations created by esteemed American artists. Palmer's contribution beautifully captures the essence of Manhattan Island with its stunning architecture and lively streets. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where horse-drawn carriages were a common mode of transportation and parks like Madison Square provided respite from city life. This print truly encapsulates both the charm and dynamism that defined New York City during this period.
