#project365 [day 51] Lewisohn Building detail
Walking through Midtown Manhattan, where the streets are littered with skyscrapers, it pays to keep looking up. That is how I discovered this building which has 6 sculptures of medieval dressed men, seated with their ankles crossed. With it's lovely facade, the Lewisohn Building, completed in 1913 is a fine example of early 20th century skyscraper. You can read more about it at Daytonian in Manhattan.
These statues are located about 3 stories up from ground level, and the 40th street is a rather narrow road, which makes photographing them not a trivial matter. I had a group shot, of all six, and a few individual shots. Ended up deciding that the best way to show it was to pick the best statues, and after correct the perspective create a square format composit image.
