Plate - "New York from Brooklyn Heights" c. 1936

This 1936 plate, “New York from Brooklyn Heights”, by Helmut Hiatt is a black and white depiction of a scenic view from Brooklyn Heights. The plate, measuring 20.3 x 25.4 cm, shows a picturesque view of a neoclassical structure, perhaps a manor or a building of historical significance, nestled amongst trees. The plate's decorative border and the idyllic scene evoke a sense of nostalgia and a romanticized vision of New York City. The artist, known for his artistic career spanning from 1855 to 1995, likely sought to capture the beauty and charm of the city's landscape. The plate serves as a charming piece of historical artwork, encapsulating a bygone era.
