1931 Aerial View Island Long Island Sound New York Northeast Potters Field
EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view of Hart Island in the Long Island Sound takes us back to 1931, offering a glimpse into New York City's history. The sepia-toned photograph showcases the island, which served as a potters field during that time. As we observe this early American scene, we can't help but be drawn in by the unique perspective provided by the photographer. Hart Island, situated in the northeast region of New York City, holds an intriguing past that is often overlooked. Serving as a final resting place for those who couldn't afford private burials or whose identities were unknown, it played a significant role in providing dignified interments for countless individuals. The image captures the vastness and isolation of Hart Island amidst the tranquil waters of Long Island Sound. Its serene beauty contrasts with its somber purpose as a burial ground. The composition allows us to reflect on both the historical significance and human stories associated with this site. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable photograph from their collection without any commercial intent. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and invites contemplation about how societies have evolved over time when it comes to honoring and remembering those who came before us.
