Then and Now: Long Acre Square

28 February 2019 / Kimberly / 2 Comments

A beautiful photograph of Long Acre Square, taken in 1898.

Most people don’t call it Long Acre Square, anymore. You may know it by its present day name, Times Square.

    I see Great (White) Egrets every day from my patio. Also, Great Blue Herons, Wood Storks, Roseate Spoonbills, and Cormorants…

    That is very interesting! an artist appreciated in her own time too. That’s almost a rarity!

    I admire illustrators. Norman Rockwell is my favorite because what he created captured a store and/or a message.
