EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Man in straw boater with lunch pail, Eastern Parkway at Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn" captures a moment frozen in time on August 31,1914. The image showcases a dapper gentleman donning a stylish straw boater hat and carrying his trusty lunch pail as he stands amidst the bustling streets of Brooklyn. The man's confident posture exudes an air of purpose and determination as he navigates the vibrant cityscape. Eastern Parkway stretches out behind him, lined with rows of buildings that bear witness to the growth and progress of early 20th-century America. Photographer William Davis Hassler skillfully frames this scene for the Success Postal Card Company, capturing both the individuality of this man and the spirit of urban life during this era. This timeless snapshot offers us a glimpse into daily life in New York City over a century ago. Preserved within the collection of the New-York Historical Society, this photograph serves as a testament to our shared history and reminds us how much has changed since that summer day in 1914. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are transported back to an era when men like him walked these very streets with their dreams held high.
