Pennsylvania Station, New York City,
Seventh Avenue and Thirty-Second Street, looking towards Long Island.
After Hughson Hawley (1850-1936).
Colored Lithograph. Philadelphia: Ketterlinus Lith. Co., 1910.
27 1/2 x 52 inches sheet, 40 1/4 x 64 3/8 inches framed. A large color promotional print of Pennsylvania Station in New York City dated 1910, the year it was compeleted. The architecture, considered a masterpiece of the Beaux-Arts style, was designed by the architects McKim, Mead and White. The view was published as a print under the copyright of the Pennsylvania Railroad, presumably to promote the magnificent new structure. The highly detailed bird’s-eye view is signed in the print matrix by Hughson Hawley, the foremost American architectural illustrator of the late 19th and early 20th century (Parks, p. 9).
