Empire State view

Photographer: ©

André Robé

1950’s – New York, USA

This photograph, taken from the Empire State Building observatory in the 1950s, offers a breathtaking and spectacular bird’s-eye view of New York City. The forest of skyscrapers stretches endlessly, forming a geometric mosaic bathed in golden light that accentuates the contrasts between shadow and architecture.
Beyond the towering buildings, the Hudson River flows majestically, hosting an impressive transatlantic ocean liner with two smokestacks—a testament to the golden age of ocean crossings and the economic vitality of the era. The precision of the details and the interplay of light capture the very essence of this vibrant and rapidly growing metropolis.

Part of the private collection of André Robé, an avid collector of vernacular slides from the 1950s to 1970s, this image immortalizes a time when New York, a true symbol of modernity and progress, dominated the world through its architectural ambition and urban frenzy.

Print and framing

Finishes

The different types of frames and finishes available

Print only

The print comes with its certificate of authenticity and a Hahnemühle hologram affixed to the back.

The framing is left to your discretion.

Floating Frame

The floating frame, sleek and modern, is one of the preferred framing choices for contemporary art galleries and museums.

The floating frame perfectly enhances your photographic print.

The spacing between the frame and the image creates a floating effect and highlights the image, making it an ideal art frame to maximize the depth and elegance of the artworks in our collection.

The print is mounted on a 2 mm Dibond panel and placed in the frame.

The depth of the floating frame is 4 cm, and the gap between the photograph and the inner edges of the frame is 0.8 cm for black or white finishes and 1 cm for wood finishes (Oak, Wenge, etc.). This arrangement creates a visually pleasing “floating” effect. Finally, a hanging system is attached to the back of the frame for a quick, easy, and secure installation.

Frame with mat

This classic framing combines timeless elegance and sophistication, offering a sublime presentation for your most precious artworks and photographs. A wooden or aluminum frame, chosen for its simplicity and nobility, adds a touch of authenticity and refinement to your piece.

The mat, an essential element of this ensemble, enhances the artwork by creating a visual space around it. It highlights the details and nuances while adding extra depth. Carefully selected, it perfectly complements the artwork without overwhelming it, allowing every detail to stand out.

Finally, the museum glass, of exceptional quality, provides optimal protection against harmful elements such as dust, humidity, and UV rays. With its unmatched clarity and anti-reflective properties, it ensures perfect visibility from every angle, allowing your artwork to shine without distractions.

This harmonious ensemble transforms each piece into a masterpiece, ready to be admired and preserved for generations to come. Investing in a classic frame means choosing to enhance and protect what you cherish with unparalleled distinction.
