EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the Byron Company in 1895, offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of New York City during a time long past. In front of the iconic Fuller or Flatiron Building, located at Broadway, 5th Avenue, and 23rd Street, peddlers can be seen energetically selling their wares to passersby. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with activity and diversity. Both male and female vendors are present, each showcasing an array of toys and other items for sale. The street is alive with movement as these hawkers engage potential customers in lively exchanges. As we observe this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that commerce has always been an integral part of urban life. These peddlers play a vital role in providing goods to city dwellers while adding color and vibrancy to the streetscape. The silver gelatin print beautifully captures the essence of Manhattan's early days as it was transforming into one of the world's greatest metropolises. It serves as a reminder that even amidst towering buildings and rapid progress, there will always be individuals who find innovative ways to make a living on the streets. Preserved by the Museum of the City of New York, this photograph allows us to step back in time and appreciate both the resilience of those who worked tirelessly as vendors and hawker culture itself - an enduring symbol of urban life throughout history.
