I wouldn’t call it a composite ‘fake’ per say, more like a composite artistic interpretation.

It has to be a composite/collage.

First consider the apparent altitude she's at. There's no way her hair and dress would be that still, especially if she were on some sort of aircraft. Plus, she's dressed inappropriately for being in the open air at that altitude.

Second, compare the angle of the woman's shadow, to the angle of the buildings' shadows to her left. The shadows are pointing in two different directions.

Am I correct in guessing you’ve asked the fine people at Dave & Busters about it?

Not that I expect anyone below manager to know anything, but it seems like a good place to start before searching the interwebs.

Just a guess, But I'd say the observation deck at the torch level of the Statue of Liberty (closed in 1916). I have not been able to find any images of/from there, though.

It has to be a trick or a movie set or diorama. She is WAY high up. Also, it can’t be that old or nostalgic because you can see the WTC towers below her. Strange.

Taken from a zeppelin.

New York 1920’s?

Not a German one I think. Go here and take a look and the picture gallery.

I took the picture of this picture at Dave & Busters in Houston. It was in one of their banquet rooms along with many other stock, nostalgic pictures of New York.

What era were the other pictures from?

This one appears to be black and white, with some light blue overtones. That alone makes it look like a composite.

But, the aerial view could not have been taken before 1970-1971, because you can clearly see the twin towers of the World Trade Center.

That is quite an altitude in comparison to be from the Statue of Liberty.

It's obviously a composite.

Look at the composition of the observation deck...heavy metal, possibly of a nautical sort. And given that she is at a height many times greater than the WTC, her hair and clothing are barely blowing in the wind.

I seem to remember that a scale model of NYC was built for one of the world fairs. There were elevated platforms that were built to allow people to view the model.

Probably a dirigible. If the dirigible was traveling at the speed of the wind, her hair would be still.

If she were in a fixed position, her hair would be blowing around, a good indication that it was a dirigible.

Not a composite at all, just a very good historical photograph.

That would be such a cool way to travel. You could spend the whole trip on the observation platform sipping mint julips.

I think she is standing over the diorama that is at the Queens Hall of Science, which was part of the Worlds Fair.

This picture was taken from with Gotham City and was never meant to be shown to public. Gotham exist in one is called a refraction dimension and one must be highly trained to be able to enter it. It’s too bad you posted this, I weep for you, they’re coming, run, run like you never have before ...
