A print of Rockefeller Center/New York, c. 1935, by Leslie Ragan.
This poster predates the final completion of Rockefeller Center, built between 1931 and 1939. By 1936, the buildings depicted in the poster had already been constructed, yet Ragan’s view is not an entirely accurate rendering of the complex since it includes several buildings that were not ultimately realized. The enormity of Rockefeller Center, shown here from a bird’s-eye view, is emphasized by its comparison to St. Patrick's Cathedral in the foreground and the Hudson River and New Jersey in the distance, as well as by the impressive shadow it casts over neighboring buildings.
Measures 17 x 11 inches. Ships rolled.
