EDITORS COMMENTS
NEW YORK: SLEIGHING, 1860. Step back in time to the bustling streets of New York City in 1860 with this wood engraving titled 'Sleighing on Broadway. ' The print captures a vibrant scene during winter, where a public conveyance glides effortlessly along the snow-covered road. The image showcases the ingenuity of transportation during that era, as a horse-drawn sled equipped with runners serves as a means of travel for both men and women. Amidst the flurry of activity, we catch glimpses of daily life unfolding - passengers bundled up against the cold, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement. Broadway itself is transformed into a picturesque winter wonderland, adorned by glistening white snowflakes. The enchanting atmosphere evokes feelings of nostalgia and warmth despite the chilly weather. It's fascinating to witness how people adapted to their surroundings and found joy even amidst harsh winters. This wood engraving from 1860 offers us an invaluable glimpse into New York City's past - its rich history woven through every detail captured by American artists at that time. As we admire this piece from The Granger Collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also reflect upon how far our modes of transportation have evolved since then.
