EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1900s, showcasing the iconic Bethesda Fountain in Central Park. Designed by Emma Stebbins, this magnificent fountain stands proudly in the park's Esplanade, exuding a timeless elegance that has captivated visitors for over a century. At the heart of this enchanting masterpiece is the Angel of the Waters, gracefully holding a lily symbolizing purity. Her serene expression and outstretched arms seem to invite onlookers into a world of tranquility and serenity. The intricate details captured in this photograph highlight both Stebbins' artistic genius and the photographer's keen eye for capturing beauty. The image transports us to an era when New York City was bustling with life yet still managed to provide moments of respite amidst its urban chaos. The juxtaposition between nature and architecture is striking as we see this majestic statue surrounded by lush greenery against the backdrop of towering skyscrapers. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that even within bustling metropolises like New York City, there are oases where one can find solace and be reminded of life's simple pleasures. This print from Hulton Archive allows us to bring home a piece of history while celebrating both human creativity and our deep connection with nature.
