The Street, Fifth Avenue Possibly 1900 - 1904

"The Street, Fifth Avenue" is a photogravure print by Alfred Stieglitz, a leading figure in the Photo-Secession movement. The print captures a snowy Fifth Avenue in New York City, circa 1900-1904. The image features a series of horse-drawn carriages, with the silhouette of a lone pedestrian walking in the distance. The composition, with the emphasis on the street's perspective and a bare tree as a focal point, evokes a sense of tranquility amidst the urban bustle. This work exemplifies Stieglitz's artistic vision, which aimed to elevate photography as a fine art and capture the essence of modern life in the early 20th century.
