EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a significant moment in American history - the distribution of prizes at the Tabernacle in New York City by the American Art Union. Created by Thompkins H. Matteson in 1848, this print showcases an elaborate ceremony that took place on December 24,1847. The scene depicted is filled with excitement and anticipation as a diverse crowd gathers inside the Tabernacle on Broadway. People from all walks of life have come together to witness this grand event, reflecting the melting pot nature of New York City during that time. In the center of the image, we see Bradley Smith, an esteemed artist whose work has earned him recognition from the American Art Union. He stands proudly amidst his fellow artists and spectators as he receives his well-deserved prize. The atmosphere within the Tabernacle is electric, with everyone eagerly awaiting their turn to receive their own rewards. The lithograph beautifully captures both the interior details of this magnificent venue and the expressions on people's faces - a mix of joy, curiosity, and admiration for artistic talent. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, it serves as a reminder of how art can bring people together across different backgrounds and inspire creativity within society.
