New York & Long Branch - 1954
This classic view is from another Audio Visual Designs postcard based on a photo by David Bartlett. Taken in South Amboy, NJ, PRR K4s 5413 has just taken over the train from GG1 power that has brought it to South Amboy from Penn Station.

Is that a painting done from the photo, or a photo that was post-processed to look like a painting?  I suspect the later since I don't see an artist's signature. Either way it's a great shot.

It looks to me to be an older photograph that is not the quality of more modern pictures so appears similar to a painting.

It's a period photo turned into what is called a "halftone" image, a process used to covert photos for printing.
