EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard captures the bustling scene at the Sands Street Entrance of the Brooklyn Navy Yard in 1904. The image showcases a vibrant snapshot of early 20th-century America, with its mix of architectural marvels, lively streets, and people going about their daily lives. The grandeur of the navy yard's buildings is evident as they stand tall against a backdrop of clear blue skies. Lush trees line the sidewalks, providing shade for pedestrians strolling along the walkway. The road leading to this entrance is filled with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians, giving us a glimpse into transportation during that era. The text on the postcard adds an interesting touch, featuring English descriptions that highlight important details about this historic site. It serves as both a memento and an informative piece for those who received or collected such cards back then. Printed by Detroit Publishing Company, known for their exceptional commercial art and graphic design work at that time, this photolithograph perfectly captures urban scenes from North American history. Its transfer print technique ensures high-quality reproduction while preserving every intricate detail. Today, this photograph remains an invaluable piece of American military history—a testament to the significance of Brooklyn Navy Yard in shaping our nation's armed forces. Located in Lake County Museum archives now owned by Universal Images Group (UIG), it continues to inspire awe and curiosity among those interested in exploring our past.
