EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Woolworth Building, standing tall amidst the bustling cityscape of New York City in 1939. Once hailed as the world's tallest building upon its completion in 1913, this architectural marvel held that title until 1930. The photograph, skillfully captured by Irving Underhill, beautifully captures the grandeur and neo-gothic splendor of this historic landmark. The image transports us back to a time when downtown Manhattan was still in its early stages of development. As we gaze at the picture, our eyes are drawn to the cloud-filled sky above, serving as a dramatic backdrop for this towering skyscraper. The Woolworth Building proudly stands out among other buildings with its intricate exterior design and imposing presence. Situated near City Hall Park on Broadway, this structure is not just an ordinary commercial building; it represents an era of architectural excellence and innovation. Its significance lies not only in its height but also in its contribution to shaping New York City's skyline. As we admire this remarkable piece of American architecture frozen in time through Underhill's lens, let us appreciate how it has stood strong throughout history—witnessing countless changes within the ever-evolving cityscape while remaining a symbol of pride for all those who call New York their home.
