DescriptionLithograph from two stones, first in beige ink to tone background, second in black ink for drawing, on white medium-light paper with no watermark but 4 deckled edges. The image depicts an angled front view of a Gothic-style cathedral with a single tower and spire shown just right of center. In the middle ground and background appear several tall buildings surrounding the cathedral. Some of these "skyscrapers" appear to be turn-of-the-century (19th-20th century) in style. The cathedral is shown in shadow, while some of the other buildings are illuminated. Several objects which appear to be crates are leaned against the front of the cathedral near a single door immediately below the tower. In the right foreground appears an object, possibly a cart or wagon. In the immediate foreground is a dark street, and above the buildings is the sky. The print is signed in the stone, "H Leigh" in reverse, and also is dated "1920" (?). The print is signed in pencil immediately below the image just right of center, "H. Leigh" and is also numbered in pencil "5/20" below the right corner. A slight ink line from the original stone used for printing is noticeable in both the right and left margin. Although this print is titled "St. Patrick's Cathedral" some question as to whether it actually is that cathedral. In many respects, the church shown does not look like St. Patrick's. One suggestion is that it is Christ's Church in NYC. Undoubtedly, though, the other buildings confirm that the scene is from NYC and not Europe. Although the possible date of 1920 suggests that this was possibly one of the first lithographs Leigh printed after arriving in Paris in November 1919. It is possible the image was taken from a sketchbook of American scenes. Image size 26 x 17" Paper size 29 3/4 x 24"
