EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Woolworth Building in New York City during the early 1900s, as depicted in this vintage lantern slide from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online. The Woolworth Building, completed in 1913, was the tallest building in the world at the time, standing at an impressive 792 feet and 13 stories high. Designed by architect Cass Gilbert, this Beaux-Arts masterpiece is a testament to the grandeur and innovation of the Edwardian era in America. The photograph captures the building's intricate facade, adorned with ornate terra cotta detailing and elaborate cornices. The building's base is framed by the vibrant green foliage of the surrounding trees, adding a sense of tranquility and contrast to the towering structure. The clear blue sky and the sun casting long shadows on the building's exterior further emphasize the beauty and grandeur of this architectural marvel. The Woolworth Building was not only an architectural achievement but also a symbol of progress and prosperity during a time of rapid urbanization and industrialization in America. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of New York City during the early 1900s, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage Americana or architecture.
