39th St. 6th Ave. 1930

"39th St. 6th Ave." is a 1930 print by American artist Gottlob L. Briem, depicting a bird's-eye view of a New York City street scene. Briem's masterful use of etching and aquatint creates a stark contrast between the light and shadow of the urban landscape, emphasizing the imposing height and geometric forms of the towering buildings. This evocative artwork captures the essence of the city's dynamic architecture and reflects the urban development of early 20th century New York.
