LESLIE RAGAN ROCKEFELLER CENTER. Circa 1936.

A bird's-eye view of Rockefeller Center rising up from amidst the cityscape with her roof gardens and landscaped grounds. Put into monolithic perspective by St. Patrick's Cathedral in the foreground and the Hudson River and New Jersey in the distance, this complex of buildings rises so high that even the shadow it casts is impressive. Voyage p. 137, Zega p. 102.
