Battery Park, NY c. 1930

Hampton M. Ericsson's "Battery Park, NY" (c. 1930) is a masterful black and white etching that captures the urban landscape of New York City. The cityscape is dominated by the towering skyscrapers, with the artist's use of detailed hatching creating a sense of depth and grandeur. The foreground features a single figure walking by Battery Park, adding a touch of human scale to the monumental architecture. The etching is a powerful reminder of the energy and dynamism of New York City in the early 20th century.
