ABOUT THIS PHOTOGRAPH
Working on any city image is a committed exercise of research and extreme color work. Every building is identified and catalogued and resourced. Thankfully, every building in NYC has been photographed and catalogued multiple times over the last 150 years. If it hasn’t been photographed, then it was drawn, painted or sketched, There’s a record, and it can be found.
Far more of a challenge (than the buildings themselves) is achieving an accurate feel at street level. I grew up in NYC. There is nothing quite like a morning such as this. It is a holiday. The rising sun is just reaching down to the streets & pavement. The flags snap smartly in the breezes, catching those morning rays. The Empire State Building is brand new. The newest, tallest, building in the world. What a sight that must have been to behold. – Deborah Humphries

Update on U.S. Orders
We're pausing US shipping from 18 August 2025 while we update our checkout.
Due to a U.S. government executive order, all UK to U.S. shipments will soon be subject to additional tariffs, effective 29 August 2025. While the exact amount isn’t confirmed, we expect it to be around 10% of the item value or a flat $80 per item if duties aren’t paid.
As a small business, we need time to assess the impact and ensure we protect both ourselves and our customers. The USA is our second-largest market after the UK, and although we’re confident this will be resolved soon, we are temporarily halting U.S. sales.
