EDITORS COMMENTS
**A Glimpse of Old New York: Fifth Avenue in the Early 1910s**
This photograph captures a bustling scene on Fifth Avenue, New York City, between circa 1910 and circa 1915. The image was taken by Bain News Service, one of the earliest news photography agencies in the United States.
The print shows horse-drawn carriages sharing the pavement with pedestrians and buses navigating through the crowded streets. Women dressed in fashionable attire stroll alongside men sporting top hats, while children gaze up at street vendors selling their wares. The iconic Tiffany & Co. building stands tall on one side of the avenue, a testament to New York City's rich history as a hub for luxury goods.
This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into daily life during an era when automobiles were still rare and horse-drawn transportation was the norm. It is also a reminder of George Grantham Bain's pioneering work in press photography, which helped shape the way we perceive and understand our world today.
