‘Manhattan Skyline’ John Cunning (1889-1953) Oil on canvas Public Works of Art Project (#PWAP) 1934. ‘New York City goes about its varied daily businesses in Cunning’s painting, despite the Depression. Whether or not their offices were full of workers, the Farmers Trust Building, 120 Wall Street, the Bank of Manhattan, 60 Wall Tower, and the Singer Building towered proudly against the gray sky. Commuters who still had jobs had come from the outer boroughs in the ferryboats shown tied up at the Manhattan Docks. ... On the Brooklyn shore, cargo ships are tied up for loading or unloading. The men in the foreground are removing snow from the roofs of a coffee warehouse on Water Street near the Brooklyn Bridge.' https://flickr.com/photos/americanartmuseum/3266713583/in/pool-1934/ (with more on the picture)

Its distinctive form clearly recognizable in John Cunning’s meticulously observed ‘Manhattan Skyline’, 1934, the building had already been overtaken in 1909 (Metropolitan Life Tower) and by now several skyscrapers had surpassed it.
