EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed view of "The City of New York" in 1883, brought to life through the vibrant colors of lithography. Created by renowned artists Currier and Ives, this masterpiece captures the essence of a rapidly expanding metropolis. The focal point is the Equitable Life Assurance Society building located at No. 120 Broadway, symbolizing progress and prosperity. Intriguingly, this artwork also features the iconic East River Suspension Bridge, famously known as the Brooklyn Bridge. This engineering marvel connected the cities of New York and Brooklyn upon its opening in 1883. The image beautifully depicts ships sailing along the river while paddle steamers gracefully navigate its waters. The sprawling cityscape reveals an aerial view that highlights Manhattan's grid-like layout with bustling streets and roadways filled with activity. Boats dotting the river add to the sense of movement and growth within this American urban landscape. With meticulous attention to detail, every element in this print contributes to painting a vivid picture of New York City's transformation during this era. From labeled landmarks to suspension cables spanning across waterways, it offers viewers a birds-eye perspective on transportation systems that shaped America's development. This extraordinary piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to step back in time and witness firsthand how New York City evolved into one of North America's most prominent cities – a testament to human ingenuity and ambition.
