EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning aerial photograph captures the iconic Chrysler Building in all its Art Deco glory, as it stood proudly in the heart of New York City during the 1930s. Taken in 1938, this image offers a unique perspective of the Chrysler Building, with its distinctive stepped-back design and intricate ornamentation, appearing almost otherworldly from above. The building's distinctive crown, resembling a radiator cap, adds to its iconic status, making it a symbol of American architectural innovation and artistic expression. The Chrysler Building, completed in 1930, was designed by architect William Van Alen and was the world's tallest building until the completion of the Empire State Building in 1931. This photograph, taken a few years after its completion, showcases the building's impressive height and scale, as well as its location in the bustling urban landscape of New York City. The 1930s were a time of great architectural experimentation and innovation, and the Chrysler Building was a testament to the artistic and technical achievements of the era. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the rich architectural history of New York City and the United States as a whole. The Chrysler Building continues to be an iconic symbol of American architecture and a beloved landmark in the city that never sleeps.
