A black and white photograph featuring a city view downtown New York, captured from the 61st floor of the Chrysler Building. In the foreground is one of the iconic eagle gargoyles jetting out of the Chrysler building's facade. In the background is a perspective view of multiple skyscrapers going into the horizon, complemented by a white hazy sky. Towards the bottom of the photograph lanes of cars and trucks are stopped at the street light. A painted sign on one side of a building facing the eagle reads "This is the Lincoln Building 60 East 42nd St."
