Howard Cook

The West Side, New York
1931

Vintage black and white etching depicting a cityscape with a focus on a street leading towards a skyline dominated by skyscrapers, including a prominent, slender tower resembling the Empire State Building. The foreground shows tram tracks curving into the distance, a solitary street lamp, and a figure walking on the sidewalk. The buildings feature various signs, and the overall atmosphere suggests an early to mid-20th-century urban scene. The artist's signature and date are visible in the lower right corner.
