Berenice Abbott: New York City in the 1930s

Fifth Avenue House, No.4 6, 8, New York, 1936
"These were very handsome buildings. I had thought about photographing them for a long time and finally did it when the time was right, in mid-morning. People have often talked about the photograph in relation to Edward Hopper, but I didn't even know Hopper at the time."
