Sectional View Of The New Municipal Building

A lovely cross-section of the Municipal Building. Almost exactly four years ago, I got married in that building.

The rest of this post is unwritten because I’m a brand new dad and need to focus on that for a bit. But please feel free to read the article and make your own comments.

    This image immediately reminded me of last week’s sectional depiction of the library (https://sundaymagazine.org/2011/05/sectional-view-of-new-yorks-new-public-library) and it’s no wonder: they were both done by Harry M. Pettit, an artist who at the time became known for his bird’s-eye vistas. These past two examples show more of an x-ray vision, though.
