A little piece of old New York City history, beautifully framed!
This one-of-a-kind Flea & Frame Creation features a book print depicting The Balcony, Pell Street, New York City, based on a 1908 etching and drypoint by German-American artist Charles Frederick William Mielatz (1864–1919).
The artwork captures a charming street scene along Pell Street in Manhattan’s historic Chinatown neighborhood. With its ornate balcony, pedestrians, and rain-soaked streets, this illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into New York City life at the turn of the 20th century.
The book print has been thoughtfully paired with a beautiful silver-toned vintage frame featuring decorative detailing and an antiqued finish.
