The Elevated Railroad at 110th Street 1914

"The Elevated Railroad at 110th Street" is a watercolor painting by Rachael Robinson Elmer created in 1914. Elmer's depiction of the elevated train tracks above a bustling New York City street provides a glimpse into the city's urban landscape in the early 20th century. The painting, featuring a softly rendered palette with muted colors and delicate brushstrokes, captures the vibrant energy of the city. The perspective from the street, with the train tracks overhead and figures walking along the sidewalk, creates a sense of everyday life in an era marked by industrialization and growth.
