As in many posters for the Pennsylvania Railroad, this image showcases the towers of the Financial District. Shown from the left are the Standard Oil Building at 26 Broadway, the City Bank- Farmers Trust Building at 20 Exchange Place, the Cities Service Building at 70 Pine Street, the Manhattan Company Building at 40 Wall Street, the Irving Trust Company Building at 1 Wall Street, and the Bankers Trust Company Building at 14 Wall Street. The foreground is dominated by one of the Pennsylvania Railroad’s car-float operations in New York that moved freight to and from its yards in New Jersey to Manhattan by water.
