Designs for unidentified restaurant interior, possibly Elysée restaurant, 1 East 56th St., New York, NY.] [Drawing of restaurant details 1910

This 1910 drawing by Winold Reiss shows designs for the interior of a restaurant, possibly the Elysée, which was located at 1 East 56th Street in New York City. Reiss, a German-born artist, was known for his architectural and interior design work, often incorporating Art Deco elements. This drawing, with its emphasis on geometric shapes and clean lines, is a testament to the growing influence of this style in early 20th century design. The detailed depiction of the restaurant's interior features, such as the gridded screens and the decorative doorway, provides a glimpse into the aesthetic of the era and the evolving landscape of New York City's restaurant scene.
