New York at Night, Photogravure by Paul Burty Haviland

A nighttime view over a dense city of flat rooftops, with rows of chimneys and water tanks in the foreground fading into a hazy skyline. A single tall tower rises at center under a dark, gray sky, and scattered lights glow across the buildings. The tonal, soft-focus photogravure print has rich blacks and silvery highlights.
