Lindbergh Day 1927

Chester Leich's 1927 etching, "Lindbergh Day," depicts a crowded New York City street scene. The artist captures the energy of the moment, capturing the collective excitement of the crowd. The scene is rendered in a stark, graphic style, with the buildings and figures reduced to basic shapes. The artist's use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and volume, adding to the realism of the scene. This artwork is a testament to the momentous occasion of Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic flight and the public adoration for the pilot.
