Tony Sarg was a versatile artist whose work included illustrations, puppets, and parade balloons (it was his idea to introduce the latter to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade). In 1927 he published a book called Tony Sarg's New York, which featured drawings of city landmarks as they looked in real life, teeming with people. (The book now goes for around $475.) I'll be posting these drawings over the next several months. This one, of course, is of City Hall.

For a Sarg map of Greenwich Village, see this post.

Fifth Avenue Building Tiffany Clock in front of Flatiron Building.

The Fifth Avenue Building Tiffany Clock is a notable landmark located at 727 Fifth Avenue in New York City. Crafted by the renowned Tiffany & Co., this clock is an iconic example of the craftsmanship and artistry the company is known for.

Installed in 1900, the clock features intricate details and elegant design typical of Tiffany's work. It stands as a symbol of luxury and timelessness, reflecting the opulence of the surrounding area. The clock itself has become a popular meeting spot for both locals and tourists, adding to the bustling atmosphere of Fifth Avenue.

The Tiffany Clock is not just a functional timepiece; it also represents a blend of art and architecture, capturing the spirit of early 20th-century New York. Its presence on Fifth Avenue aligns it with the city's rich history of commerce and culture.
