New York City 5

New York City, January 1939

This brief sequence of in New York City footage was in all likelihood shot around January 14, 1939, when Ross had a speaking engagement at the Foreign Policy Association, at New York’s Hotel Astor.¹ As remains of snow can be seen on ledges and on the street, while the trees are leafless, it doesn’t match the footage Ross’s made shortly after his arrival, in October-November 1938 (see items New York City 1, New York City 2, New York City 3, and New York City 4).
