EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "New York Veils" transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th-century New York City. Created by Arthur Boyd Houghton in 1870, this print captures the essence of a rapidly growing metropolis. The image showcases a vibrant street scene, with towering buildings and busy pedestrians going about their daily lives. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every figure is meticulously etched, capturing the energy and diversity that defined New York at the time. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the city's rich history and its role as a melting pot for cultures from around the world. The veiled women depicted in the foreground add an air of mystery and intrigue to the composition, symbolizing both tradition and progress intertwining within this urban landscape. Houghton's work was originally created as an illustration for The Graphic newspaper on April 2nd, 1870. It serves as a window into an era when New York City was undergoing rapid transformation - evolving from a small trading post into one of the most influential cities in the world. This print allows us to appreciate not only Houghton's artistic skill but also provides us with a glimpse into what life might have been like during this pivotal period in American history.
