EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "A buttonwood tree grew there then, and beneath it they drew up this agreement" transports us back to 19th century New York City. The image showcases a magnificent buttonwood tree standing tall in the midst of bustling city streets. Underneath its branches, a group of individuals are depicted drawing up an important agreement. The artwork was created as an illustration for the book "The New Metropolis" edited by E Idell Zeisloft and published in 1899. It beautifully captures the historical significance of Wall Street, where this iconic buttonwood tree once thrived. As we gaze at this print, we can't help but imagine the energy and excitement that must have filled the air during those early days of America's financial hub. The stock exchange, which would later become synonymous with Wall Street, is believed to have originated from meetings held under this very tree. Beyond its historical context, this lithograph also highlights the beauty and importance of nature within urban landscapes. The presence of the buttonwood tree serves as a reminder that even amidst rapid industrialization and progress, elements of natural beauty can still be found. Overall, this artwork offers us a glimpse into both history and nature's enduring influence on our surroundings. It encapsulates not only a significant moment in American finance but also celebrates the harmonious coexistence between man-made structures and Mother Nature herself.
