I stumbled upon this photo of Pittsburgh in 1955 and immediately thought “Duskvol!” I clicked on the link and it brought me to the work of the renowned photojournalist W. Eugene Smith. There are definitely some Blades-esque pictures, but take some time to sit with these powerful, resonant images:

Interesting shot. FYI – the link took me to his blog, but not that image collection.
I am excited to see more of this collection, but I had the same experience as Sean – the link is a dead end and the site is so chock-full of photography that I have not been able to locate the set.
The building in the upper right is the Cathedral of Learning. A building with a fascinating history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_Learning
I fixed the link above. Enjoy.
Hello, home. I was at the highest (publicly available) point of the cathedral just last summer. Even today there are very few tall buildings near it so everything looks so small, but I imagine you can see a lot farther than back in ’55.
