Dallas Skyline by Alfred Eisenstaedt — 1940s

(click for very large image)

by Paula Bosse

The Dallas skyline, photographed by Alfred Eisenstaedt in the 1940s for Life magazine (as far as I can tell, it was not published). One of my favorite views of downtown, from the Cedars, back when Pegasus was still visible.
