EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1883, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of Government Buildings on Wards Island. The photograph, featured in America Illustrated and edited by J. David Williams, showcases the architectural marvels that once graced this scenic location in New York City. Set against the backdrop of a serene river and an enchanting skyline, these historic structures exude an air of authority and importance. The monochrome engraving beautifully captures their intricate details while emphasizing their significance in shaping the landscape of 19th century America. The image transports us to a time when water transport was vital for connecting different parts of the country. A steamboat gracefully glides along the East River, symbolizing progress and movement during this era. As we admire this print from The Print Collector's collection, we are reminded of how geography played a crucial role in defining locations like Wards Island. Its strategic position made it an ideal spot for government buildings that served as symbols of power and governance. This remarkable piece serves as both a historical document and a work of art. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the rich history embedded within every corner of our beloved United States.
