From Margolies‘ 25th floor studio, he had a bird’s eye view of the construction of the Empire State Building, his inspiration for this print, and “Men of Steel.”  Today, it is Margolies’ modernist aquatints of New York that are highly regarded, not the traditional snowy landscapes also sold by Associated American Artists which were much more popular in his lifetime.
