Fascinating paintings by an artist from the 1920s who was essentially 'predicting' what NY and other metropolises would look like in the future. All the buildings look a little like the Chrysler building and some of these are weirdly accurate.

Quoted: Pick up a reprinting of a 1929 book by Hugh Ferriss titled 'The Metropolis of Tomorrow.' Ferriss was the preeminent architectural draftsman of his time who, through moody renderings of skyscrapers, virtually invented the image of Gotham.
