Hudson Post Card Postcards Tomb
EDITORS COMMENTS
Greetings from New York: A Snapshot of History on the Hudson River This photograph, titled "Greetings from New York," transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s, as we gaze upon the iconic Hudson River scene. The image, captured during the golden age of postcard photography, showcases the breathtaking beauty of New York City's waterfront. At the heart of the image lies the majestic Hudson River, its tranquil waters reflecting the grandeur of the city's skyline. To the left, the historic Grant's Tomb stands proudly, a testament to the legacy of President Ulysses S. Grant and his wife, Julia Dent Grant. The tomb, designed by John Merven Carrère and Thomas Hastings, is a stunning example of Beaux-Arts architecture, its intricate details and grandeur on full display. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the vibrant history of New York City during the 30s and 40s. The era is marked by the presence of the US Army Corps of Engineers' Fort Washington, located at the northern tip of Manhattan Island. The fort, built in 1774, played a crucial role in the defense of New York City during the Revolutionary War. As we delve deeper into the image, we can also spot several boats and ships docked along the riverbank, adding to the bustling energy of the scene. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of New York's rich history and its enduring allure, making it a must-have addition to any collection of Americana or postcard history.
