EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "NYC: FERRY, 1939" takes us back in time to the bustling city of New York during the early years of commuter travel. The image showcases the ferry Cranford gracefully navigating through the choppy waters of the East River, connecting New York City with its neighboring state, New Jersey. Captured by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in July 1939, this snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when ferries were a vital mode of transportation for thousands of commuters. The Cranford stands tall and proud against the backdrop of towering skyscrapers that define Manhattan's iconic skyline. The simplicity and elegance of this scene are enhanced by its monochromatic composition. Lange's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate both the exterior beauty of this majestic vessel and its significance within daily life in NYC at that time. As we gaze upon this historic print from Granger Art on Demand, we can almost hear the sounds of bustling crowds boarding and disembarking from their daily commute. It serves as a reminder that even amidst rapid technological advancements, there is something timeless about human connection and our need to traverse vast distances together. Let this photograph transport you back to an era where ferries were not just vessels but symbols representing unity between two states separated only by water - a testament to our shared history and resilience as communities bound together by geography.
