EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Brooklyn in 1874. Captured by the talented artist William Hamilton Gibson, this image is a part of his collection titled "Brooklyn Street-Scenes". It offers a glimpse into the vibrant city life that existed before Brooklyn merged with New York City. The scene showcases an avenue lined with elegant buildings and towering trees, creating a picturesque setting. A horse-drawn carriage gracefully makes its way down the road, reminding us of a time when transportation relied on these majestic animals. In the distance, we can spot a beautiful church, symbolizing the importance of religion in society during that era. Gibson's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures every element within this street scene - from the intricate architecture to the lush greenery surrounding it. The print exudes an air of tranquility and nostalgia, transporting us back to a simpler time when nature coexisted harmoniously with urban development. This artwork was originally featured in "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of 19th-century Brooklyn. As we admire this print today, we are reminded of how cities evolve over time while still retaining their unique charm and character.
