EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NEW YORK: SINGING SOCIETIES" takes us back to a historic moment in the heart of New York City. The image captures the vibrant reception of German Singing Societies at City Hall Park on a warm summer evening, July 15,1865. The scene is filled with excitement as men on horseback, adorned with lanterns, ride through the park. They are members of these singing societies, proud immigrants who have journeyed from Germany to find their new home in America. Their melodious voices fill the night air as they serenade the city with their songs. In this mid-19th century engraving by Alfred Waud, we witness a harmonious blend of cultures and traditions. The Financial District's iconic City Hall stands tall in the background, serving as a symbol of welcome for these talented singers. The image beautifully captures both the energy and unity that music brings to people from different backgrounds. It reminds us that even amidst unfamiliar surroundings, music has the power to connect hearts and bridge divides. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but feel inspired by these brave individuals who embraced change and found solace through song. This print serves as a testament to New York City's rich immigrant history and its enduring spirit of inclusivity.
