EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "America On Wheels" takes us back to the bustling streets of New York City in the mid-19th century. Circa 1850, Broadway is depicted as a chaotic scene filled with streams of traffic pouring up and down its busy lanes. The image captures the essence of a rapidly growing city, where horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians coexist amidst an ever-increasing frenzy. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see pedestrians utilizing a bridge to navigate their way through the chaos below. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of that era, with men donning hats and top hats adding an air of sophistication to this vibrant street scene. The landscape format perfectly encapsulates the magnitude of activity happening on Broadway during this period. Signs dotting the buildings hint at various businesses thriving along this iconic avenue, contributing to both its charm and confusion. Transport infrastructure plays a significant role in shaping this urban environment. The roads are teeming with diverse modes of transportation available at that time - from horse-drawn carriages to early forms of public transport - all vying for space on these crowded streets. This remarkable photograph by Three Lions offers us a glimpse into North America's past, reminding us how far our cities have come while honoring their rich history.
