This vintage photograph from 1932 shows the Lower Manhattan skyline as seen from across the East River on the the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge. While the original image is stunning by itself, this version was expertly colorized by artist Zoe Martin, giving new life into the 87-year-old, black-and-white photograph. Check out the specimen page on the Library of Congress for more info on the original photograph, or Redbubble to order a print.
