EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of New York City in 1884. Captured by Otto Herschan, it showcases a section of the city's iconic Third Avenue elevated railway at Coenties Slip. The railway, built in 1879, stands tall as a symbol of progress and innovation during that era. In this image, we are transported to a time when steam locomotives ruled the tracks and train travel was an integral part of daily life. The landscape is dominated by the imposing presence of the railway infrastructure, with its intricate network of rail lines stretching into the distance. The sepia-toned photograph adds a touch of nostalgia to the scene, evoking memories of days gone by. It offers us a glimpse into North America's rich transportation history and reminds us how far we have come in terms of design and technology. As we observe this high angle view from above, we can almost hear the rhythmic chugging sound echoing through the city streets. This archival piece serves as a testament to New York City's enduring spirit and its ability to adapt and evolve over time. Otto Herschan's masterful capture transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and significance of this historical moment in American transportation history.
