EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken circa 1890, we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of Manhattan's Canal Street in New York City, USA. The view looks down the street, with the distinctive red brick buildings and cobblestone pavement creating a sense of old-world charm. On the left-hand side of the image, the premises of M. & G. Wilkinson, wholesale dealers in Wooden & Willow Ware, can be distinctly seen. The name of the company is displayed proudly above the entrance at 242 Canal Street. The large, open doors suggest a lively business, with carts and tramlines visible outside, indicating the efficient transportation of goods in and out of the establishment. The scene is filled with activity. People can be seen walking along the sidewalks, dressed in fashionable attire of the late 19th century. Horse-drawn carts and trams make their way down the street, adding to the hustle and bustle. The atmosphere is vibrant and energetic, showcasing the commercial spirit of New York City during this era. The photograph also reveals the rich architectural details of the buildings, with their ornate cornices, intricate brickwork, and large windows. The contrast between the old and the new is evident, as the modern tram system coexists with the traditional horse-drawn carts. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating look at the history and character of Canal Street in New York City during the late 1800s.
