~photo/pnn/1950/1950_c/readme.txt 8/8/08 Originals: Kodachrome 35mm slides, undated. Digitized 8/6/08 with Nikon Coolscan 5000 scanner: 5782 x 3946, TIFF output, 16 bit depth. From PNN Cavalcade tray #14, label "New York / Harbor / Skyline / Central Park", no date. Date: possibly 1950; see date discussion under p22 below. PNN might have made a side trip to NYC when he went to the Harvard Advanced Management Program, believed to be 1950. [Kodak used these slide mounts 5/49 to 5/52, according to http://www.historicphotoarchive.com/f2/kodachrome.html.] Location: New York City. p01: Looking north up the East River just after crossing under the Brooklyn Bridge: Brooklyn Bridge, Manhatten Bridge, Williamsburg Bridge. p02: p03: Grant's Tomb and Riverside Church, from the Hudson. p04, p05: Cunard liner (Queen Mary?), Empire State Building in background. p12: Looking east from the Hudson at roughly 30th Street. p14, p15, p26: Statue of Liberty. p17, p18: seals, presumably in Central Park Zoo. p19: Hazy aerial view looking south, presumably from Empire State Building (ESB). p21: Aerial view, SAN guesses looking northwest across Hudson from ESB. p22: UN Secretariat from East River. [The Secretariat and General Assembly buildings were built 1949 - 1950. This picture shows the Secretariat with a large crane still in place, and the General Assembly building that sits between it and the East River is only a steel frame. SAN concludes this picture is probably from 1950.] p23: Looking northeast from ESB, past Chrysler Building and UN towards Roosevelt Island, through smoke from east side smokestacks p24: (Columbia Presbyterian Hospital?) p26: (On Harlem River?) p27: [Dup, probably commercial] Skyline at night from ESB. p28: Lower Manhatten skyline.
