Snowy Streets and Horse-Drawn Wagon Rides - A Glimpse into Daily Life in Early 20th Century New York City
EDITORS COMMENTS
This black-and-white photograph, captured by the esteemed Bain News Service in 1910, offers a rare glimpse into daily life during one of the most iconic snowstorms to hit New York City. The image shows horse-drawn wagons navigating through deep drifts on a snowy street, as pedestrians bundled up against the cold weather make their way along the sidewalk.
The photograph is not only a testament to the resilience and determination of city dwellers but also highlights the importance of public transportation during this era. Horse-drawn vehicles like those depicted in this image were a common sight on New York City's streets until electric streetcars became more widespread in the early 20th century.
Bain News Service, founded by George Grantham Bain and his brother-in-law, was one of the most prominent press photography agencies during its time. The agency's photographers captured some of the most iconic moments in American history, including this poignant image that freezes a moment from everyday life on snowy streets of New York City.
This photograph is now part of the Library of Congress' collection and serves as a powerful reminder of how people adapted to harsh weather conditions while going about their daily lives.
