Smile Im looking for 1920s-50s style skyine pictures in color of New York or Chicago [Help]

Hello, this is my first post, Im looking for 1920s-50s Art Deco style pictures of Skylines of either Chicago or New York in full color preferably High Resolutions. The inspiration for my motive is a video game called Mafia II and it's fictional city "Empire Bay".


I'm not sure which era are the metropolis style buildings from but I'm looking for pictures of detailed art deco styled skylines, can be art as in hand drawn, painted or real photographs HDR and non are welcome.

Maybe someone could point me in the right direction for what I am looking for?

Thanks.

for that time period (NYC) there's no one better than Andreas Feininger , unfortunately most of his work was in black&white

Chicago around 1950:























New York. Some of these are getting into the 1960s though:














And a couple street scenes for good measure:

There are undoubtetly no better vintage color pictures of NYC than Charles Weever Cushman's colored photographs of Manhattan in the 1940's (atleast if you ask me)
















Oh and some rare color photos from the year 1930 just cuz.












All photos found from thewallbreakers.com

Beautiful was it not?
