The Hotel Majestic is the subject here, a New York City hotel shown in a photograph dated around 1895 and credited to J.S. Johnston, whose numbered print (No. 3037) carries a copyright notice. The record notes that its date and details come from an old caption card and have not been verified. Hotel views like this were popular in the 1890s, when photographers sold scenes of prominent buildings to guidebook publishers, hotels, and a public eager to see the city's fashionable new architecture. The print offers a glimpse of how a large urban hotel presented itself to the street at the close of the nineteenth century.
