EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage print, captured by Underwood Archives from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back to a stormy summer night in New York City on July 9,1945. As the city is engulfed by an unexpected tempest, nature's fury takes center stage with a dramatic display of electricity and danger. Against the darkened Manhattan skyline, a jagged streak of lightning crackles down through the sky like an otherworldly force. Its path seems guided by destiny as it descends upon the iconic Empire State Building, perching itself proudly on the tip of its majestic dome. The sheer power and intensity of this electrifying moment are palpable. This photograph captures not only a historic event but also symbolizes the indomitable spirit of New York City. Despite facing nature's wrath, there is resilience in every bolt that strikes this concrete jungle. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, there is beauty and strength to be found. As we gaze at this image frozen in time, we cannot help but feel awe-inspired by both man-made marvels and Mother Nature's might colliding in perfect harmony. This print encapsulates an era gone by while igniting our imagination with visions of old-time grandeur against a backdrop of thunderous skies.
