Fifth Avenue Clock Archive Photo – Dry Plate Series

A timeless New York landmark, preserved in archival black and white.

Standing proudly across from the Flatiron Building, the Fifth Avenue Clock has kept time for New Yorkers since the early 1900s. With its ornate bronze casing and Roman numerals, it embodies the elegance and permanence of a city that never sleeps.

This archival black and white print reimagines the clock through the lens of the glass plate dry plate process. The result is a hauntingly authentic portrait, where scratches, tonal depth, and subtle imperfections amplify the feeling of an unearthed relic.

Printed on museum-grade archival paper, this piece connects collectors to the architectural and cultural heritage of Manhattan — a symbol of New York’s rhythm, precision, and timeless design.
