Thanks to Steven Sclaroff for alerting me to Period Paper’s massive sale, including of many prints of downtown New York City. Below are the ones that caught my eye—and they’re only from the first of 83 pages of search results. (So budget some time before you dive in.) They’re on sale for $17.99 each.

Don’t bother clicking on these images, however: They don’t get larger. If you click through to Period Paper, you can use a magnifying function to inspect details. Note: The captions are Period Paper’s.
