EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic Rockefeller Center in New York City during the late 1930s. The image showcases the architectural grandeur of the Rockefeller Center, a landmark that has long represented the spirit of innovation and progress in America. Located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, the Rockefeller Center is a complex of 19 commercial buildings with a total of 70art-deco style structures, including the world-famous RCA Building with its distinctive art deco tower. The complex was developed by the Rockefeller family and John D. Rockefeller Jr., who envisioned a modern, self-contained city within the city. The photograph reveals the Center's impressive skyline, with the RCA Building towering above the other structures. The building's distinctive setbacks and stepped-back design create a unique visual effect, making it a standout among the other skyscrapers in the area. The building's illuminated sign, "RCA - Radio City," adds to the vibrant energy of the scene. The surrounding plaza, with its ice-skating rink and sculptures, is also visible in the photograph. The plaza, which opened in 1936, quickly became a popular gathering place for New Yorkers and tourists alike. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Rockefeller Center during a time when it was still a new and innovative development. It is a reminder of the rich history and architectural beauty that can be found in the heart of New York City.
