EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Thirty-eighth Street West from Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. between 1900 and 1910," is an intriguing glimpse into the past of New York City during the early 20th century. The image, created by the Detroit Publishing Company, showcases a bustling urban street scene filled with activity. Fifth Avenue, one of the city's most famous thoroughfares, is seen in the background, lined with grand buildings and tall trees. The focus of the photograph, however, is Thirty-eighth Street, where horse-drawn carriages and automobiles share the road with pedestrians. The contrast between the old and the new modes of transportation is striking, with the sleek, modern cars standing out against the backdrop of horse-drawn carriages. The photograph was likely taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, a common photographic technique of the time. The image is rich in detail, from the intricate patterns on the carriages and the clothing of the people on the street to the architectural details of the buildings. This photograph offers a unique perspective on the commercial and industrial landscape of New York City during the early 1900s. The city's commerce and industry are on full display, with various businesses and facilities visible along the street. The photograph is a testament to the rapid pace of change during this period, as the city transitioned from a horse-and-buggy era to one dominated by automobiles. The Library of Congress holds this photograph in its vast collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the history and heritage of America's urban centers. This photograph is a valuable reminder of the past and the evolution of transportation in the United States.
