This print captures the grandeur of the New York City Post Office, an architectural masterpiece that dominates more than a city block between 31st and 33rd Streets. Designed by renowned architects McKim, Mead and White, this iconic building was completed in 1913 and remains a symbol of New York's rich history. In this image by Edwin Levick, we see the exterior view of the main branch of the post office against a bustling city backdrop. The horizontal format allows us to appreciate its sheer size as it stretches across Ninth Avenue. The street is filled with activity - cars navigate through traffic while people go about their daily routines. The striking contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the photograph, emphasizing the intricate details of this built structure. As we gaze at this archival image from the 1920s, we are transported back in time to an era where handwritten letters were sent through these very walls. Levick's composition skillfully captures both the architectural beauty of this historic landmark and its integration into everyday city life. This print serves as a reminder not only of our postal system's importance but also how architecture can shape a community's identity.
