| Summary | "Scribner's Magazine, Volume 26, October 1899" by Various is a historical magazine published during the late 19th century. This volume presents a collection of articles, illustrations, and creative works that capture the themes, culture, and societal norms of the time. The magazine serves as a window into the era's perspectives on various aspects of American life, including travel, the arts, and social commentary. The opening of this volume features a piece titled "The Water-Front of New York" by Jesse Lynch Williams, where he vividly describes the bustling scene along New York's waterfront, contrasting the various types of vessels and their purposes. Williams paints a picture of the diverse activities—from grand ocean liners returning home to small tugs pushing freight car floats, creating a lively tableau of life by the water. He reflects on the changing nature of the waterfront, intertwining observations of modernity with nostalgic mentions of older New York, ultimately inviting the reader to appreciate the unique beauty and character that arose from this vibrant and evolving landscape.
