DescriptionDrawing of Times Square in Manhattan. On the left is Broadway and on the right is 7th Avenue, both lined with buildings and advertisements, including the Astor theater, the Automat, and Bond's. At the center left is the Studebaker Building (now demolished) with the Sony sign on its roof. A Coca-Cola sign (with digital clock) and Castro Convertibles sign are visible on the side of a building in between the Studebaker and the statue. What is probably a sign for Howard (a men's clothing store) is visible on the right side of the Studebaker. Pedestrian and automobile traffic is pictured, as well.
NotesSubject Note: This drawing was used as a study for the color illustration that appears on page 121 of Richard Welling's The Technique of Drawing Buildings.
