Mid-Century New York Skyline - Industrial Progress

Description
Rarely do you come across a work of art that is vastly different than just about anything you see. This work is undeniably brilliant and a sheer pleasure to behold.
Alexander Leydenfrost has created a time capsule that shows the nation's founders in colonial dress. They are without any sign of technology, surrounded by sprouting edifices, motorized transports, and the gears and by-products of an evolved society. It is a futurist vision - epic in scope and grandiose in detail.
Signed lower left. The artist added a 2-inch horizontal strip at the bottom to give him more pictorial space.
Framed under plexi. Bankers Trust Ad - Illustration House -
