EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Underwood Archives, we are transported back to February 16,1917, in the bustling city of New York. The image showcases a courageous New York City policeman standing tall on the deck of the police boat Patrol as it patrols the iconic NY harbor. With a determined expression on his face, this brave officer is seen manning the one-pound Hotchkiss 37mm rifle mounted on the boat's deck. His caucasian appearance reflects the diversity that has always been at the heart of Manhattan's rich tapestry. The historic significance of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of law enforcement but also in its portrayal of an era long gone. It serves as a reminder of how far our society has come and how much remains unchanged. As we gaze upon this monochromatic scene, we can almost feel ourselves being transported back to that time when boats dotted New York City Harbor under clear daytime skies. The vintage quality adds an air of nostalgia and authenticity to this snapshot from our past. This print is a testament to both the dedication and bravery exhibited by those who protect us every day and serves as a poignant reminder that history continues to shape our present reality.
