1975 or 1976

[edit]

TJRC, The article includes the following two sources which may point toward a 1975 creation date:

  1. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-may-14-mn-37147-story.html
  2. https://almanac.upenn.edu/archive/v42/n11/back.html
I am not sure about what the 2nd source is really saying about 1975, but the first one is a plain english statement that the work was made in 75.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 02:45, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

under the external sources, the link to the julia santen gallery has been taken over by some online gambling site

Additional "view of the world" New Yorker covers

[edit]

Withdrawn. ChatGPT hallucinated a bunch of non-existent covers.

Cross street

[edit]

Which east-west street does the view look down? 2600:1702:1D00:9A80:D4E:D9EE:4297:8A1F (talk) 14:40, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We're not supposed to do "original research" but the West Side Elevated Highway was one block over from 10th Avenue (without an intervening 11th Avenue) south of 72nd street. Much of the West Side Elevated Highway seems not to have been in use in 1976... AnonMoos (talk) 16:39, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I believe it's the street nearest The New Yorker's offices. —Tamfang (talk) 20:32, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
