EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print from 1937 showcases the vibrant interior of Hotel Woodward's bar, bustling with people and exuding an atmosphere of elegance and fun. The photograph, taken by Byron Company, measures 27.9x35.6 cm and is now housed in the Museum of the City of New York. Located on the southeast corner of Broadway and 55th Street, Hotel Woodward was a prominent establishment during its time. The image captures a moment frozen in time, offering a glimpse into the social scene of 1930s Manhattan. The bar is adorned with a stunning vaulted ceiling and exquisite murals that add to its exotic charm. A bartender can be seen skillfully serving drinks while a barmaid engages in laughter with customers nearby. Both male and female patrons enjoy their beverages amidst lively conversations. The black-and-white photograph beautifully contrasts against the flamboyant pink flamingoes depicted in one of the murals, creating an intriguing visual dynamic. This snapshot not only captures architectural details but also provides insight into social dynamics at that time. It serves as a testament to both the artistic prowess behind capturing such moments on film and as an invaluable historical artifact showcasing life in mid-20th century America. With its meticulous composition and rich narrative quality, this gelatin silver print offers viewers an immersive experience into an era long gone but forever preserved through photography's lens.
