Original Carlos Anderson (1905 to 1978) WPA depression-era lithograph print known as the “Little Church Around the Corner”,  although unsigned.   Known for his strong urban landscape images, he worked in the NYC Graphic Arts Division of the WPA program in the 1930s.
The church is located at 1 East 29th Street and is also known as the Church of the Transfiguration, and a popular site for weddings. Print is in excellent condition. Beautifully framed in rich walnut, under glass, matted.
