The image depicts a vintage poster featuring an illustration of the Woolworth Building at night in June. The building is shown with prominent vertical lines and green accents against a dark blue background, suggesting it's illuminated from within or by external lighting. Below the architectural depiction are two rows of text: "WOOLWORTH BUILDING" followed by "JUNE NICHT," which translates to "June Night." A street lamp in silhouette appears on the right side near the top corner, and a small yellow dot suggests a light source above the building's outline. The overall aesthetic has muted colors with dark blues for night sky contrasts against warm greenish tones of the building structure, evoking an early evening atmosphere.

The image depicts a night scene of New York City's skyline with prominent buildings illuminated against a dark sky. In the center stands Woolworth Building and its adjacent structure, possibly referring to The Municipal Building or another city hall building named "City Hall Park." Both are depicted in golden light, contrasting sharply with the surrounding darkness. Several other skyscrapers surround these central structures, also lit from within, suggesting this was a period when such buildings often featured internal lighting for visibility and aesthetic appeal. A full moon is visible above the skyline on the left side of the image, adding to the nocturnal ambiance.

The photo carries text at the top indicating it's taken "at night" in New York City with references to notable locations like Woolworth Building & City Hall Park. The overall quality suggests this could be a vintage postcard or print from early 20th-century urban photography.
