| Reverse description | A highly detailed nocturnal panorama of the New York City skyline rendered across the entire field using blackened and frosted finishing techniques to evoke the city at night. The foreground features the Brooklyn Bridge with its distinctive Gothic stone towers and suspension cables, while the background skyline prominently displays the Chrysler Building, One World Trade Center, and surrounding skyscrapers, their illuminated windows suggested by polished silver highlights against the darkened field. The series title BIG CITY LIGHTS is inscribed in bold capitals along the upper portion of the field, and the date 2022 appears to the right, mid-field. |
