Jim Flora Art LLC has produced a limited-edition, archival-quality fine art print of a 1954 Jim Flora hand-tinted woodcut entitled Manhattan. The cityscape depicts New York in its 1950s glory, including a number of gotham landmarks such as the Empire State Building, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Madison Square Garden, the Statue of Liberty, famous theaters and legendary musical bistros, Washington Square arch, subways, taxis, horse-drawn carriages and tourists. Only twenty-five (25) prints of Manhattan were produced…

Coming soon: the next four screen prints in the Primer for Prophets series: Cooked, Quaffed, Groomed, and Kissed. Release target = late February or early March. If you purchased a complete numbered set of the first foursome (Jived, Smoked, Ate, Drove), you have a preemptive claim on the identical statistic for this quartet. We’ve got your number.
