EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of New York City in January 1882. The focal point of the image is the Croton Stand Pipe, a magnificent architectural structure that served as a vital water supply for the city during that era. Standing tall on West 97th Street, it symbolizes both human ingenuity and our dependence on nature's resources. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see three individuals standing near the pipe, their presence emphasizing its colossal size. They are dwarfed by its grandeur, reminding us of our place within an ever-evolving urban landscape. The artist skillfully captures not only the physicality of this engineering marvel but also its integration into the surrounding environment. The street comes alive with activity as people go about their daily lives against a backdrop of stoic buildings and leafless trees. Printed using archival techniques, this illustration showcases intricate engravings that bring out every detail with precision and clarity. It serves as a testament to both artistry and historical documentation. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Kean Collection's vast repertoire, we are transported to a time when progress was measured by feats such as these stand pipes – structures that provided essential resources while shaping the very fabric of society.
