EDITORS COMMENTS

In this breathtaking aerial view, we witness an impressive cityscape that includes prominent buildings such as Chrysler, News, and Grand Central. Blackwells Island looms in the distance, adding to the grandeur of this scene. The colorized print brings new life to this historic image. Designed by William F. Lamb from Shreve, Lamb and Harmon architectural firm, construction began on January 22nd, 1930. After countless hours of hard work and unwavering teamwork from these skilled men in their occupation as steelworkers and builders at great heights; finally came May 1st, 1931 - when the Empire State Building officially opened its doors to awe-struck visitors. This photograph not only represents a remarkable feat in engineering but also symbolizes human determination and ambition during a time when America was striving for greatness amidst economic challenges. It serves as a testament to progress and innovation that defined New York City throughout history. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time over eight decades ago, we are reminded of how far we have come while honoring those who played an integral role in shaping our magnificent skyline.
