    ABOUT THIS ITEM
    It doesn’t get any more New York than this! Up for your consideration is an Echo 100% silk scarf showing the Lord & Taylor store at 38
    th
    Street and 5
    th
    Avenue in New York City. I believe it’s illustrated by one of the New Yorker cartoonists, though I have not been able to determine which one.
    This item is probably from the late 1980s or early 90s. It measures about 34” inches across and comprises an artist’s sketch of a moment in time at this corner, with taxis and hot dog vendors and shoppers and commuters all doing their thing. Truly a unique piece!
