Reference: Kraeft 74, only state, apart from the edition of 100. In pristine condition. The full sheet with full margins, printed on a heavy cream wove paper.
Landeck printed his proofs personally, supplying his dealers with proofs as they had need for replacements. But since Landeck insisted that his prints be affordable - he put a cap of $100 on prints sold by Associated American Artists in the late '70's and early '80's, for example - the demand increased substantially in his later years. At that point he enlisted the printing help of two artists: Anthony Kirk and Mohammad Omer Khalil; this impression may have been given to Khalil.
Landeck said of this print: "...something of the character and mood of that part of New York City. I had a job near there and spent time wandering around the area. This street marks the boundary of the city. Tenements came up to the park - and stopped. Moral: Build more parks!"
