Rockefeller Center's Choristers sing as they stand in front of the Prometheus sculpture created by Paul Manship. A crowd watches from above on the lower plaza of the Rockefeller Center. Flags from many countries including the United States of America are exhibited on the lower plaza among the crowd. The conductor stands with his back to the photographer centered in front of Prometheus and a fall-guard is behind him.
Likely between April 16 and April 19, 1954
