This signed and flush-mounted print of one of Faurer’s most beloved images is exceedingly rare as a vintage print.

Here, Faurer has spotted identical twin sisters in the midst of a sea of faces on a crowded 5th Avenue sidewalk. Their matching side parts, cat-eye glasses and patterned, collared shirts spotlight their presence as a focal point at the foreground of the photograph. The immediacy of their unique appearance is visually contrasted against the anonymity of the blurred faces of busy New Yorkers walking briskly behind them, while the towering skyscrapers of Midtown, classically frame Faurer’s subjects in a noteworthy composition of one-point perspective in a Post-War America.
