About this puzzle
A glorious sea of American flags, crowded streets, and Fifth Avenue skyscrapers, The Fourth of July, 1916 (The Greatest Display of the American Flag Ever Seen in New York, Climax of the Preparedness Parade in May) by Childe Hassam (1859-1935) is a beloved work of American Impressionism. A 2016 gift to New-York Historical from our late Chairman Emeritus Richard Gilder, it depicts the Independence Day Parade down Fifth Avenue in the patriotic days before US forces entered World War I. Once owned by Frank Sinatra, the painting was previously on display as part of the 2017 exhibition World War I Beyond the Trenches.
