American photographer Margaret Bourke-White (1904 - 1971) stands on the scaffolding enclosing the then-under-construction Chrysler Building and looks out across New York, New York, 1931. She wears a leather jacket and holds a Graflex 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 RB Auto camera. The building visible at the lower left is the Helmsley Building (also known as the New York Central Building and the New York General Building).
