1939

Manhattan: Battery Park.

Battery Park: The Bulletin Board that was presented to the City by John D. Reilly, the head of the Todd Ship Yards. This is a constant source of interest to business men, employees, visitors and others, emphasizing the importance of New York as a great sea port. In the background are the various structures forming the well known skyline. Prominent among these are the Irving Trust, the Standard Oil, and the Bank of Manhattan buildings. The New York Herald-Tribune of November 12, 1939, Section VII (gravure) carried a similar view. P. L. Sperr July 28, 1939
