1926réf. 148811926. Underhill Irving. Original 1926 photograph of the Farmers' Loan and Trust Building in New York City recording the scale of a recently completed Fifth Avenue office tower within the traffic and streetscape of midtown Manhattan. The building now known as 475 Fifth Avenue was completed in 1925; Underhill's photograph therefore dates from the year immediately following its completion and preserves its early appearance within the rapidly changing commercial architecture of 1920s New York. Original vintage black and white photograph approximately 13 x 11 inches. The image emphasizes the height and massing of the Farmers' Loan and Trust Building while also showing automobiles and street traffic below placing the skyscraper within the everyday circulation of the city. A notation in the lower left corner reads: "Farmer's Loan Trust Bldg. 5AY & 415tC17650. Copyright 1926 by Irving Underhill NY." The large format allows both the architectural façade and surrounding street activity to remain legible. Underhill specialized in commercial and architectural photography of New York and this image records the city during the interwar building boom that was reshaping Fifth Avenue and the Manhattan skyline. The juxtaposition of the tower with contemporary automobiles and street traffic provides a dated visual record of urban development only a year after the building's completion. In very good condition. unknown
1902réf. 148841902. Loeffler A. Original 1902 photograph of the Park Row Building documenting one of Lower Manhattan's defining early skyscrapers only a few years after its completion. Rising above the surrounding streets and commercial buildings the tower records the vertical transformation of New York at the turn of the twentieth century and the concentration of new high-rise construction around City Hall and Park Row. Vintage black and white photograph copyrighted 1902 by A. Loeffler measuring 7 x 9.5 inches. The Park Row Building dominates the composition above the active city streets below preserving both the structure's scale and its relationship to the surrounding urban fabric. The verso is marked "Charles L. Ritsmann 228 Fifth Avenue Between 26th and 27th Sts. NY" providing a contemporary commercial ownership or distribution mark. Completed in 1899 the Park Row Building was among the tallest office buildings of its period and became an early landmark of New York's developing skyscraper skyline. Loeffler's 1902 image records the building within its original urban setting before the larger towers of the following decades altered the scale of Lower Manhattan. In very good condition. unknown
