New York City was an exciting place to live during 1907
when Bertha (16) visited there for 6 months with her
her Uncle Werner, Aunt Camille, and cousins
Dolly (19), Bernard (16), and Charles (14).
They lived 2 blocks north of Central Park and
the 110th Street Station subway stop.
It was during this time that the Ash Can School of artists
painted so many cityscapes. In this post it is through their eyes
that we will explore the city.
