New York City 6
Like New York City 5, this brief sequence of New York City footage was most probably 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 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).
