Madison Sq. Garden -- N.Y. (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Dendroica cerulea said:
    Presumably this is the second Madison Square Garden, which opened in 1890. The colonnade looks similar to the one in the Wikipedia illustration. Unlike the current building with that name, this one was actually close to Madison Square.
  • Wystan said:
    Those appear to be political posters, stuck onto the columns with adhesive tape. But had adhesive tape been invented by 1913? And can anyone make out the words -- or recognize the candidate's photo?
  • Arden said:
    Dendroica cerulea: thank you for the information about Madison Square Garden. We will add some of it to the image description.

    The posters say "FOR CONTROLLER WM. A. PRENDERGAST". William A. Prendergast was controller of the city of New York. See u.o. New-York tribune., October 17, 1909, Image 17 New-York tribune., October 27, 1913, Page 3

    This picture was taken BEFORE they had trucks and roads that could get them a big Adirondack Tree

    More Bain/LOC photos of the 1913 tree-raising project:
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Interestingly, in most of these photographs of the tree-raising in Madison Square, there are, in fact, people in the tree either tying or releasing ropes. They are only visible if you view the larger digital files over at the Library of Congress website by following the link at Persistent URL above. Quite a job!
  • Wystan said:
    And here I had figured that "learning the ropes" was only a seafaring term! Aye, aye Cap'n! Ahoy and avast! Batten down the mizzenmast!
