The Bowery - Strokey's Bar
1953

A vintage drawing depicting a bustling city street scene with pedestrians, some of whom appear as ghostly figures, and a variety of signs including "Strokes Bar," "Suits & Coats," and a street sign for "Pearl St." The atmosphere is hazy, suggesting a bygone era, and there's a newspaper on the ground with the headline "Atom Bomb Ghost Town." The artwork is signed and dated at the bottom right corner.
