Untitled (Cityscape, NY)
1936

A vintage black and white photograph of the New York City skyline viewed from the water, with a clear view of several iconic skyscrapers and a bridge faintly visible in the background. The water in the foreground shows ripples and waves, suggesting the photo was taken from a moving boat.
