• DESCRIPTION: The subject of the print is Grand Army Plaza, the prominent urban square located at the southeastern corner of Central Park. The plaza, anchored by the Pulitzer Fountain and framed by notable buildings including the Plaza Hotel, served as a focal point of social and architectural life in early twentieth-century New York.<BR><BR> In this composition, McNulty presents the square as a dynamic urban space, balancing architectural structure with the movement of carriages, early automobiles, and pedestrians. The arrangement of the scene often emphasizes the interplay between the open expanse of the plaza and the enclosing vertical forms of surrounding buildings, creating a sense of both openness and metropolitan density.
