DescriptionDrawing of five low-rise buildings on East 56th Street in Manhattan, with Kennedy Galleries on the ground floor of the one in the center. To the left is Adolfo (probably a clothing store), and to its left is Knize, a clothing store. Several pedestrians are pictured on the sidewalk.

On the verso are two drawings, one of a figure surrounded by what appear to be stacks of newspapers or other bundles of paper, and the other showing a cherrypicker / man lift on the street with a person operating a professional movie camera. Another person is standing on the bed of the truck supporting the lift, and there is a building in the background.
