Sidney Z. Lucas was a successful New York art print publisher. He opened a print and art gallery center in NYC in 1928, publishing and selling a variety of art prints. Themes were, among many others, historical views of NYC. The design of the print of Wall Street was probably based on historical views for Wall Street We are looking down cobble-stoned Wall Street, busy with traffic, towards US Episcopal Trinity Church.
This print is NOT a collectable antique print. It has, however, a definite decorative value. As far as we know the production of this print has ended.
