Vintage 1930s New York Photos Lot 5 Brooklyn Bridge Empire State Cathedral NYC
[Used]: Set of five original vintage sepia-tone gelatin-silver photographic prints on glossy photo paper showing light age-related handling and storage wear with a natural curl to the sheets. Image surfaces remain clean with good gloss, scattered fine surface scuffing and a few small handling marks visible in angled light, along with minor edge and corner wear but no creases, tears, or paper losses in the image areas. White borders and blank versos show slight age toning and a few tiny specks of soiling, and the photographs are offered as loose, unmounted and unframed prints with no mats, mounts, frames, or additional accessories included.
Original vintage circa 1930s sepia-tone gelatin-silver photograph lot of five depicting New York City architectural and transportation scenes, each on glossy photo paper with printed white captions identifying the locations.
Subjects include a silhouetted \'BROOKLYN BRIDGE and SKYLINE of LOWER MANHATTAN\' view across the East River, a sweeping \'SOUTH VIEW from the EMPIRE STATE BLDG. NEW YORK\' looking down the island toward the harbor, an \'AERIAL VIEW of EMPIRE STATE OBSERVATORIES, NEW-YORK\' emphasizing the tower rising above Midtown, an \'ENTRANCE CATHEDRAL of ST. JOHN the DIVINE, NEW YORK\' view focused on the ornate Gothic façade and rose window, and \'HANOVER SQUARE NEW YORK\' with elevated railway tracks curving through a canyon of downtown office buildings.
Each print is a small-format sepia-toned city view on glossy gelatin-silver photo paper with narrow white borders and blank backs without photographer credits or handwritten captions, the fronts retaining strong contrast and tonal range suitable for close viewing and display.
Features include New York City landmark subject matter such as the Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building, Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Hanover Square, and Lower Manhattan skyline, cities-and-towns, architecture, and travel-and-transportation themes, original 1930s–1940s sepia gelatin-silver photographic production on paper, and loose, unmounted and unframed presentation ideal for framing, album use, or addition to vernacular cityscape and documentary photography collections.
