Additional Details



Bailey published many of his views of New York in the city's newspapers, most in the New York Sun in a column titled Intimate Sketches of New York. This view of 42nd Street, probably executed from the Times Building, shows the back of the New York Public Library, Bryant Park and an El station at 6th Avenue.
