This is a photo taken in the 1990s, so the quality is poor. But you can clearly see the lighting of 32 Old Slip (One Financial Square).

The quality could be better.

I mean, I will say the quality of that photo is better than a photo from a phone with AI “enhancements”

completely agree with you, this is a print of an older image. The original is a slide that I digitized, and when I have a few, I print them out in photo format. I have many old slides that have very good resolution, even better than some color photos from that time.

Note: this is about the presentation of old images, not the subject matter. It was taken in Chicago in the mid-1980s.

I can’t remember if this was posted before. It looks familiar.

The pictures are not from 1973 as stated; I suspect they were taken in the summer of 1971.

Great pics, showing towers of such a gigantic scale, unlike the sad excuse of a tower 2WTC will rise next year as.
