I took this photo in the main branch of The New York Public Library inside The Rose Main Reading Room. The library is located on 5th Avenue and East 41st Street in Midtown. Upon entering the museum from East 41st Street, The Rose Main Reading Room will be straight ahead. I stood on the southend for my image.
