Drypoint, circa 1940. 232x305 mm; 9x12 inches, full margins. Signed, titled and numbered 1/15 in pencil, lower margin. A fine, rich impression.
"Bedlam Corners is the intersection at Forty-Second Street and Third Avenue. It has the reputation of being the noisiest in New York City. The confusing structural elements of the Neighborhood; the clattering old Third Avenue elevated trains echoed by its counterpart, the surface cars directly below; the Forty-Second street crosstown cars and the broadway trolley; the passenger cars, taxicabs, trucks, and trailers; the construction gang of welders, stone cutters, drillers, and diggers; all in unison, create a deafening bedlam that numbs the senses to the very roots."
