Bachmann chose to portray New York and his other subjects as if seen from imaginary viewpoints far above even the loftiest office building or church steeple . . . Bachmann's views offer a rich sample of lithographic achievement in this country and in France during the third quarter of the last [19th] century. Those he executed during the decade of the 1850s are particularly outstanding and are justifiably regarded by collectors and curators as among the finest American views to be found" (Reps, pages 160-161; entry 2647).

Post, who went on to design the New York Stock Exchange Building, which still stands today.

Lot: 26 - EDWARD STEICHEN (1879-1973) The Flatiron - Evening, from Camera Work XIV. 1904; printed 1906.

EDWARD STEICHEN (1879-1973) The Flatiron - Evening, from Camera Work XIV. 1904; printed 1906. Three-color halftone print, the image measuring 21¼x16½ cm, 8⅜x6½ inches; double mounted to Japan tissue and the original page mount 30½x21½ cm, 12x8½ inches. Designed by Daniel Burnham at the turn of the 20th century, the Flatiron Building was considered a groundbreaking skyscraper in the United States due to its early steel skeleton structure and triangular design. Today, it remains one of the most iconic buildings in New York. Upon completion in 1902 it was one of the tallest buildings in the city and its magnificence has been beautifully recorded by Steichen in this evocative photograph in 1904. With its atmospheric yet modernist aura, the photograph captures the interplay between the tree branches in the foreground, the carioles on the rainy streets, and the newly built Flatiron that we can distinguish in the background at dusk. Until today, this image stands as an iconic depiction of the building and a groundbreaking image in terms of pictorialist aesthetic. Steichen made three color variations in brown, blue-green, and yellow-green-black by using different proportions of pigments in each gum process over platinum. These prints are extremely rare on the market. The best-known greenish variation was popularized as a tritone photogravure by Alfred Stieglitz in the publication Camera Work XIV in 1906. The Flatiron - Evening is not only a strong testimony of modern New York but also a subtle chromatic study of twilight with its undoubtedly Japanese influence. The composition itself integrates natural and modern features that cohabit harmoniously and unlike other photomechanical processes such as half-tone, which rely upon dot patterns to reproduce an image, the photogravure produces a finely nuanced continuous-tone image and renders beautiful color effects through the use of tinted inks. And like Japanese woodblock prints, this colored photogravure was printed with multiple inks in the days before practical color photographic processes became available.

EUGENE DE SALIGNAC (1861-1943) Painters on Brooklyn Bridge. 1914; printed 1980s. Silver print, the image measuring 35.6x41.3 cm, 14x16¼ inches, the sheet 40.6x50.8 cm, 16x20 inches; with Salignac's numeric notation in the negative, and the "New York City Municipal Archives" stamp with the collection notation "Dept. of Bridges" and negative number in pencil on verso. Born in Boston in 1861 into an eccentric family of exiled French nobility, de Salignac had no formal training in photography. In 1903, at the age of 42, his brother-in-law found him a job as an assistant to the photographer for the Department of Bridges, Joseph Palmer. After 3 years of apprenticeship, Palmer suddenly died, and in October 1906, de Salignac assumed his duties. As the sole photographer for the department from 1906 to 1934 (in 1916 it changed its name to the Department of Plant & Structures), he documented the creation of the city's modern infrastructure—including bridges, major municipal buildings, roads and subways. Most notably, he documented the construction of the Manhattan Bridge and the Queensboro Bridge, and the Manhattan Municipal Building but his most famous image is that of painters posing nonchalantly on the cables of the Brooklyn Bridge. Using a large-format camera and 8x10 inch glass-plate negatives, he shot over 20,000 images in his career. Most of these negatives and over 15,000 vintage prints are held by the New York City Municipal Archives. Into his 70s de Salignac was still climbing bridges and actively working, but he was forced to retire in 1934 despite a petition to Mayor La Guardia. [Courtesy of Wikipedia].

Lot: 44 - EDGAR E. RUTTER (1883-1964) and others Group of Brooklyn industrial and neighborhood photographs. 1916-1966 and undated.

EDGAR E. RUTTER (1883-1964) and others Group of Brooklyn industrial and neighborhood photographs. 1916-1966 and undated. 169 photographs, all approximately 20x25 cm, 8x10 inches; almost all mounted on linen with looseleaf binder stubs, with caption and photographer name in negative, generally minimal wear with three having more wear. Most of these photographs relate to construction projects in Brooklyn, and break down into several main categories. Most of the photos are credited to E.E. Rutter, Commercial Photographer; or simply "Rutter." The earliest are 16 photos dated from 1916 to 1919, all on slightly different stock than the later photos and without binding holes. Some of these are street views of a stretch of Ralph Avenue just north of Fulton Street in Bed-Stuy. These were possibly taken for a sidewalk project, but many show storefronts, private residences, horse-drawn carriages, and pedestrians. While the later photos are all by the Rutter agency, these are uncredited or from Russell & Co. of Brooklyn. 43 photos are from a Coney Island boardwalk project in 1922, with heavy industrial shots interspersed with picturesque beach views. 61 photos are from Brooklyn sewer projects dated 1922 to 1925. This includes 23 shots of the Flatbush Relief Sewer, 27 of the 26th Ward Disposal Plant, 7 from a Wythe Avenue project, and two each from projects on Patchen and Maspeth Avenues. Many of these are "before" streetscapes showing storefronts and pedestrians, although with the sewer grates featured front and center. The 26th Ward Disposal Plant was at the foot of Hendrix Street on the border with Queens; these are all gritty construction photos, including one unfortunate man wading through a sludge pit with a gas lamp. 26 shots show a major road construction on Meeker Street in the Greenpoint neighborhood, 1938-1939. Storefronts, demolished buildings, and vacant lots abound--possibly in preparation for the construction of the Brooklyn–Queens Expressway? Among the remaining miscellaneous photos are of the cornerstone ceremonies at the Snyder Avenue courthouse and the Williamsburg Baths, 1922; the laboratory of the Highway Engineering Laboratory, 1936; an extremely muddy unpaved road near Sheepshead Bay in 1922; and 20 later photos from circa 1949-1966 including street views of Lafayette Avenue and Flatbush Avenue.

Most New Yorkers know the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, completed in 1964, which connects Brooklyn with Staten Island. Less well known is the never-completed Narrows Tunnel, a.k.a. the Saint George Tunnel or Staten Island Tunnel or Hylan Tunnel, which would have been the first crossing of the Narrows. It was designed for rail freight and/or subway passengers. The sand hogs began their work in 1923, and the tunnel extended 150 feet west from Brooklyn before squabbling between the freight and subway factions scuttled the project forever. The sealed tunnel mouth is located beneath Owl's Head Park in Bay Ridge. Included here are the printed drawings for Contract No. 2 (Shore Road Shaft, Borough of Brooklyn); Contract No. 3 (South Street Shaft at St. George, Borough of Staten Island); Contracts 4-A, 4-T, and 4-C, superseded (New York Bay Section--Trench Method); Contract No. 4 (New York Bay Section--Shield Method), plus a duplicate; and Contract No. 4A (New York Bay Section--Trench Method), plus a duplicate.

This sweeping southern view from the intersection of Maiden Lane and Broadway also shows the Washington Life Insurance Building, the Trinity and United States Realty Buildings, and the City Investing Building" (New York p. 22). In the distance, passing by the Statue of Liberty, once can see the Anchor Line's single-funnel SS Furnessia. This poster can be dated based on the shipping company being acquired by Cunard in 1911, and the fact that the ship was scrapped that same year. New York p. 22.

The interior of the Main Concourse in New York City's Grand Central Terminal, looking east. In the background, on the East Balcony, is a model of the DeWitt Clinton, the first steam powered locomotive to operate in New York State, and its three carriages; it ran from 1831 to 1833 and was then scrapped. The model was built by the New York Central Railroad for display at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial and then was showcased at the Columbian Exposition (World's Fair) in Chicago in 1893. In 1920, it was installed in Grand Central Terminal. Since 1934 the model has resided at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. New York City architecture history buffs will notice that there is not yet a stairway leading up to the East Balcony; this was only added when the station was redesigned in the 1990s.

CHESLEY BONESTELL (1888-1986) New York Central Building / At the Gateway to a Continent. Circa 1929. Lithograph poster. 103½x68½ cm, 40¾x27 inches; Latham Litho. & Ptg. Co., Long Island City. California-born Bonestell "was an American pioneer of space art who helped popularize manned space travel. He is well known for his cover art for science fiction magazines . . . as well as many books such as The Conquest of Space, The Exploration of Mars, and Beyond the Solar System" (https://www.bonestell.org/). In the 1920s, he lived in New York, and helped design some of the iconic Art Deco facades and architectural elements for the Chrysler building, the New York Central Building, and many office and apartment buildings around the city. He also collaborated on the designs for the Plymouth Rock Memorial, the U.S. Supreme Court Building, and various state capitols. It is not too surprising then, that he could render this mesmerizing and dramatic nighttime view down Park Avenue of the New York Central Building, a modern ziggurat, in all its glory. Construction on the building began in 1927 and was completed in 1929, at which point it was the tallest building in "Terminal City," the developed area that covered all of the tracks in the terminal.

Lot: 64 - MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE (1904-1971) The Chrysler Building under construction. 1930.

MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE (1904-1971) The Chrysler Building under construction. 1930. Toned silver print, the image measuring 33¾x23¾ cm, 13¼x9⅜ inches, the mount 53¼x36¼ cm, 21x14¼ inches; with Bourke-White's signature in pencil on mount recto. A fearless trailblazer, Margaret Bourke-White was among the first photographers (and the first female photographer) hired for Fortune and Life magazines, the first female accredited as a war photographer, and the first woman to fly on a bombing mission. Her ambition in a male-dominated world pushed her to test her own limits and the limits of what a camera could capture (her colleagues at Life nicknamed her Maggie the Indestructible). Bourke-White's imagery was unique, powerful, and innovative, witnessing much of the 20th century's beauty and brutality. In 1930, Bourke-White was commissioned by the Chrysler Corporation to photograph their new skyscraper while it was still under construction (it would briefly become the tallest structure in New York). This image documents the iconic terraced crown with its sunburst pattern partially covered in scaffolding. In this series, Bourke-White portrays a city that is powerful, reaching further and further into the sky and the future. In her autobiography, Portrait of Myself, Bourke-White says of her first glimpse of the Chrysler Building gargoyles, "On the sixty-first floor, the workmen started building some curious structures which overhung 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue below. When I learned these were to be gargoyles à la Notre Dame, but made of stainless steel as more suitable for the twentieth century, I decided that here would be my new studio. There was no place in the world that I would accept as a substitute. I was ready to close my studio in Cleveland in order to be nearer Fortune, but it was the gargoyles which gave me the final spurt to New York" (p. 78).

Mizen was a prominent illustrator, painter and art teacher who worked for the Sears, Roebuck & Co. Catalog, Coca-Cola and contributed work to the Saturday Evening Post, Collier's and other magazines. During the 1930s, "out West, a coalition of nearly thirty railroads pooled their resources against the auto and introduced the 'Travel By Train' campaign. Their cooperative effort produced nearly a dozen posters portraying a range of national destinations, of which this one of the "most notable" (Zega p. 109). The Empire State Building was constructed in record time, 18 months from start to finish, and opened in May, 1931. It wasn't until 1951 that the now-recognizable antenna was added to the building's spire, bringing its total height to 1472 feet. This poster was printed very shortly after the completion of the famed skyscraper and may well be its earliest appearance in lithograph form. Rare. Furness vol 8, 268, New York p. 68.

The building, also referred to as 60 Wall Tower, was constructed between 1930 and 1932. "[Ragan's] work exemplified the American taste for realistic depiction while highlighting the natural environment for dramatic effect . . . Ragan's sense of composition and refined wash technique made his best images burst with reflected light. . . [his] cityscapes were particularly noteworthy for their dramatic perspective and powerful massing of Deco-styled skyscrapers. Appropriately, his New York City images best communicated the sense of dynamic rhythm and energy emblematic of the skyscraper age" (Zega, p. 95ff).

VARIOUS ARTISTS Signature book kept at Ye Olde Tavern. 1905-1917. Illustrated and signed guest register for a New York City drinking establishment. [118] manuscript and scrapbook leaves. Folio, original paneled gilt calf, worn, backstrip detached; minor wear to contents. Ye Olde Tavern was a conspicuously old-fashioned early 20th-century English-style pub at 161 Duane Street in lower Manhattan, on the ground floor of an old-fashioned whalebone workshop, run by partners Vidal & Thompson. This house autograph book is filled erratically, skipping pages and moving forward and backward in time, as might be expected in a volume compiled collectively by large numbers of intoxicated people over a period of years. It is filled with elaborate drawings, crude doodles, aphorisms, bits of drinking doggerel, signatures, clippings, menus, and pages devoted to fraternities, social clubs and private parties such as the annual dinner of the "Gravesend Bay Knockabout Assn." We find a surprising number of women among the entries. We have not checked all of the many hundreds of names. Among the minor celebrities noted are pianist Max Liebling and his son, musical critic and composer Leonard Liebling, in 1911. Author Elbert Hubbard in 1914, a year before his death on the Lusitania, wrote a cheeky review: "This is the place that has capitalized on its cockroaches, banked on its bacteria, and makes money out of its must. Like the place, and its grub." One portrait purports to be of John D. Rockefeller, "with his consent"; we would wager it actually depicts a random barhound with a passing resemblance to Rockefeller. We could say much more about this charming volume, but it has inspired us to instead knock off for the evening and enjoy a cold beverage.New York, 1905-1917

SAUL BASS (1921-1996) 2nd New York Film Festival / Philharmonic Hall / Lincoln Center. 1964. Lithograph poster. 115½x75½ cm, 45½x29¾ inches. Saul Bass became famous in the 1950s, thanks to his collaboration with Otto Preminger and Alfred Hitchcock, for each of whom he designed movie posters and title sequences. During his 40-year career, Bass worked for some of Hollywood's other most renowned filmmakers as well - Billy Wilder, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese. He revolutionized film poster design, thanks to his dropping the "big head" theory, prevalent in movie poster advertising throughout that decade, and the latter by redefining film's visual language. Whether using graphics or photography, his work is always highly symbolic and minimal, living up to his credo, "symbolize and summarize." MoMA 146.1977.

This is the only photograph of Paradise Garage salvaged by Bates after her studio burned and she lost her entire artistic output. Paradise Garage was an epochal New York City nightclub, central to developments in modern dance, pop music, club culture, and gay life in New York in the late 1970s and 1980s. The Garage, as it was also known, has been credited for its influence on the development of the modern dance club; unlike other clubs of its time, Paradise Garage was the first to prioritize dancing, and put the DJ at the center of attention. Performers included Diana Ross and a young Madonna. The club's name derives from its origins as a parking garage. Its business model was largely inspired by David Mancuso's private invitation-only DJ parties at The Loft in New York, which was not open to the public, and served no liquor or food. Paradise Garage's DJ Larry Levan and his contemporaries, Frankie Knuckles and Nicky Siano, were early proponents of the genre that became known as House music.
