Description

An original photo from an album of a NY family that went on a lot of U.S. road trips in the 1940s. Album was acquired from an estate. This photo is likely extremely rare or one of a kind. Type & Size: A 3.5x2.5" original photograph. Condition: Original and in fair to good vintage condition. This is a vintage photograph of Rockefeller Center in New York City, taken in 1946. The image captures the iconic Art Deco architecture, with flags adorning the front. Prominent in the foreground is the famous statue of Prometheus, located above the Rockefeller Center's ice skating rink. Rockefeller Center, completed in the 1930s, is a hub of activity and an architectural marvel of its time. In 1946, the Center was significant in the post-war revival of New York City, symbolizing the resilience and optimism of the era. The Prometheus statue, created by artist Paul Manship, remains one of the most popular landmarks in the city. No text or identifiable people are visible in the image.
