Produced by Charlene Taylor, Charlie Howard, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "New York Sketches" by Jesse Lynch Williams is a collection of observational essays written in the early 20th century. The work vividly captures various aspects of life in New York City, focusing on its landscapes, social dynamics, and the contrasts between the old and the new. Through Williams’s lens, the city comes alive, showcasing everything from the bustling waterfront to the quieter, rural areas within the urban sprawl. The opening of the work introduces the reader to the vibrant setting of New York's waterfront, painting a detailed portrait of the diverse types of vessels and the activities surrounding them. Williams describes the scene at the Battery and contrasts it with Riverside's greener landscapes, evoking a sense of nostalgia for both the historical and contemporary elements of the city. The narrative further emphasizes the poignancy of urban life, observing the intermingling of commerce and leisure, and the dynamic atmosphere that signifies the character of New York City as a place of both stark realities and picturesque moments.
