EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the Fulton Ferry boat collision of 1868. The wood engraving, sourced from a contemporary American newspaper, transports us back to that fateful day in New York City on November 14th. The image showcases the exterior of the city's bustling harbor, with its iconic skyline serving as a backdrop. Amidst this picturesque scene, chaos unfolds as two ferry boats collide in the middle of the waterway. This dramatic incident highlights both the trouble and risks associated with maritime transportation during this time period. The print offers a glimpse into an era when mass transit was still evolving and relied heavily on ferries for transportation across New York Harbor. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of safety measures and technology within our modern-day transport systems. As we study this historical artifact, it is impossible not to be drawn into its narrative - imagining the panic and confusion that must have ensued during those moments following impact. Through this single image, we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience inherent within our human endeavors. Granger Art on Demand has once again provided us with an invaluable window into America's past through their extensive collection.
