What I love about this picture is the juxtaposition of one technology in its first flowering: the skyscraper, and another at its sunset: the horse carriage, in the same moment. What a wonder the Flatiron must have seemed to someone moving at the speed of hooves.

Gorgeous. Area looks remarkably similar even now with Madison Park on the left.

So true, I had to do a double take, it looks so similar.

Is that Steichen?

Good bet

probably not. the famous Steichen photo is a night shot. the Flatiron's always been heavily photographed. (I work in the building)

The photo angle conceals the fact the base & floors are triangular, giving the building far more stability than it would seem to have. I had to look this up. I wondered if there was room for a hallway, or if you could see right through from one side to the other.pic.twitter.com/8qyRz6V5Sw

Don't wanna be a cynic, but… how does that building stay vertical??

The angle at which the photo was taken conceals the fact the building has a triangular floor shape. This makes it look like it's as narrow all the way back as it is at the pointy front. I didn't know this till I looked it up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Edificio_Fuller_(Flatiron)_en_2010_desde_el_Empire_State_crop_boxin.jpg …
