While working as a photographer of industrialism for Fortune, Margaret Bourke-White established a studio in the Chrysler Building. Taken from the balcony of this studio, this photograph whimsically juxtaposes Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein with New York’s skyscrapers, great symbols of capitalism.
