The Hudson-Fulton Celebration of 1909 honored the tercentennial of Henry Hudson's great find for the Dutch and the centennial of Robert Fulton's steamboat. These events anchored settlements along the Hudson River valley and helped to define this famous region. The celebration, which coincided with the heyday of the penny postcard, was a multi-week, cross-state parade and party. Among its many vintage images, Hudson-Fulton Celebration of 1909 features unique postcards from the magnificent event by blockbuster artist Bernhardt Wall, renowned publisher Raphael Tuck, and an official souvenir series from the Redfield Brothers.

"An invaluable window on how New York self-consciously and very publicly transformed itself from a city that was merely 'the largest' to an undisputed world-class metropolis. . . . A rich historical record of newspapers, manuscripts, artifacts, photographs, and graphics . . . offers a new lens to examine identity, industry, and environment."--Kenneth T. Jackson, from the Foreword For two weeks in the fall of 1909, New York City threw itself the biggest party it had ever seen--attracting millions of people to a sprawling festival 150 miles long, from Brooklyn up the Hudson River to Albany. This extraordinary event, the Hudson-Fulton Celebration, was officially meant to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Henry Hudson's discovery of the river bearing his name and the centennial of Robert Fulton's first successful run of his steamship Clermont. But in an era of grand world's fairs, the Celebration was really created to showcase New York's coming of age as a world metropolis. On city sidewalks and along the river, millions enjoyed a nonstop circus of fireworks, concerts, museum exhibitions, children's festivals, and military and naval parades, each designed to link past glories to present challenges and future progress. And to show the world that its biggest city worked. For city leaders, the Celebration was to be a gaudy catalyst for change--technological, commercial, cultural, and political. There were great flotillas of the world's navies. New, glittering electric lights illuminated bridges and skyscrapers. Jawdropping flyovers by Wilbur Wright and Glenn Curtiss introduced New Yorkers to the airplane. The Queensboro Bridge had just been built, as had new subway lines. Thousands of children in ethnic costumes marched to celebrate the new American melting pot. No one had seen anything like it. This fascinating book commemorates that commemoration. With a rich selection of full-color images--photographs, graphics, memorabilia, paintings, and much more--it tells the story of what those two weeks meant to four million New Yorkers and one million out-of-town guests. Johnson brings back a city feverishly at work and play, from the grand schemes of the planners to the way the Celebration put the city and its people on a world stage.

Excerpt from Historical Pageant: Hudson-Fulton Celebration, September 25 to October 9, 1909 The American Period, so-called to distinguish it from the Indian, Dutch and English Periods, but more properly called the United States Period, of course began with the Declaration of Independenceon July 4, I 776. Prior to that date the colonies were fighting for their rights as colonies, not for national independence; after that date they were, by the terms of the Declaration, free and independent States. SO much has been written to popularize the history of the States east and south Of New York that comparatively few people realize how many important events took place in New York during the Revolu tion. As we are celebrating the history Of the Hudson River it is interesting to recall that the possession of the Hudson was the great central Object of contention between the British and the Americans, the British believing that if they could secure it they could cut the colonies in two, defeat them in detail, and establish a safe route of communication between their base of supplies in Canada and the base of war in New York. Fulton's great achievement, twenty-four years after the close of the Revolution, was the cardinal event of the Nineteenth century, with reference to this celebration. In depicting, in the great Historical Parade, important scenes in these four periods, the hudson-fulton Celebration Commission has aimed not only to present a spectacle which will be memorable but also to give an impetus to historical research and to present historic scenes so that they will impress themselves more clearly on the minds of the spectators than could be done by books and pictures. The work of building the oats for these moving tableaux has been going on in New York City for many months, and the work of construction has required the services of all kinds of artists and artisans. The artist most familiar with this kind of work was sum moued to design the pageant, and for about a year nearly two hundred workmen at a time have been engaged on the actual construction.
