About the Photographer: Samuel Gottscho (1875 – 1971) was primarily an architectural photographer who created iconic photographs of New York City’s landmarks. Working as a full time commercial photographer after 1925, Gottscho made views “in straight-line perspective and sharp focus” of new skyscrapers and city hubs such as the Chrysler Building and Times Square. One of the great treasures of the Museum of the City of New York, the archive of the Gottscho-Scheisner firm demonstrate a vision of Manhattan as dynamic, luminous, sophisticated, and in many ways, timeless.
