EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1860 showcases the iconic Croton Reservoir, a significant architectural marvel of its time. Located at the intersection of 5th Avenue between 40th and 42nd Streets in New York City, this imposing structure stood as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. The artist skillfully captures the grandeur of the reservoir against the backdrop of a bustling cityscape. The image depicts a scenic view that highlights both the beauty and functionality of this water source. The reservoir's elegant design seamlessly blends with its surroundings, enhancing rather than detracting from the existing skyline. Its towering presence commands attention while harmoniously coexisting with neighboring buildings in Murray Hill. The Croton Reservoir served as an essential lifeline for New Yorkers during this era, providing clean drinking water to meet their growing needs. This print transports us back to a time when such structures were not only functional but also celebrated for their architectural brilliance. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of how far our society has come in terms of urban development and infrastructure. It serves as a reminder that progress is built on foundations laid by those who came before us – pioneers who envisioned and constructed remarkable structures like the Croton Reservoir to shape our cities into what they are today.
