EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of New York City in 1878. The image showcases the very first train on New York City's Sixth Avenue elevated railway, a groundbreaking transportation system that revolutionized urban travel. As we gaze upon this contemporary wood engraving, we are transported to a moment frozen in history. The scene unfolds with great detail, capturing the energy and excitement of the era. The elevated train gracefully glides above the city streets, its passengers peering out from open windows as they make their way from Battery to Central Park. We catch a glimpse of the Jefferson Market police court nestled amidst Greenwich Village's charming architecture, providing an intriguing juxtaposition between law enforcement and progress. The image is alive with movement - people scurrying along sidewalks, horse-drawn carriages navigating through traffic, and vendors selling their wares on street corners. It offers a snapshot into daily life during this transformative period in American history. As we admire this remarkable piece by The Granger Collection, it serves as a reminder of how far our cities have come since those early days of urban development. This print encapsulates both the nostalgia for simpler times and appreciation for progress that continues to shape our modern world today.
