View of a Fifth Ave bus passing the Maison Francaise of the Rockefeller Center complex at 610 5th Avenue. The Gallic Freedom sculpture by the French sculptor Alfred Janniot is visible above the main entrance.
People walk down Fifth Avenue in front of the New York Public Library. They wear hats and coats. A man walks toward the camera with his hands in his pockets. A woman holds a child's hand walking away from the camera. At the left there are people standing next to a stone railing and below them is a grassy area that is lined with hedges. At the intersection, there is a street sign that reads "W 42 St." There are buses and cars on the road. Billboards on the buildings read, "The new Michelin universal tread Broadway at 57 Street" and "C. T. Silver Overland Willys Knight Peerless automobiles Broadway at 57 St." Others read, "Dr. Dadirrian's Zoolak" and another billboard for C. T. Silver. At the left, a sign in a window reads, "...millinery... [DeMast]." There are other buildings, some with spires, visible down Fifth Avenue.
Crowd walks in front of the Hotel Astor. They are all men and they wear hats, coats, and suits. The hotel is across the street. There is a streetlight with a sign that reads, "caution" hanging from it. Beyond that, there is a sign reading, "Coronet Dry Gin." There are spots and light streaks across the negative.
Woman walks down Fifth Avenue. She wears a hat and what may be a fur coat. Across the street, there are cars, buildings, and streetlamps, as well as other pedestrians. The shadows of two other people are visible at the bottom right of the photograph. A billboard at the left reads, "C. T. Silver Overland Willys Knight Peerless automobiles Broadway at 57 St." There is another billboard for C. T. Silver below that.
