Manhattan is a background trait in the Redacted Remilio Babies NFT collection, based on a still from Grand Theft Auto IV (2008) depicting Liberty City — specifically the Algonquin borough, which is modelled after Manhattan. The skyline visible in the image is drawn from the game's recreation of New York City rather than photographic reference.
Background
Grand Theft Auto IV was developed by Rockstar North and released in 2008. Its setting, Liberty City, is a fictionalised version of New York City divided into boroughs that closely mirror their real-world counterparts: Algonquin corresponds to Manhattan, Broker to Brooklyn, Dukes to Queens, and Bohan to the Bronx. The Algonquin skyline rendered in the game features recognisable stand-ins for landmarks including the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, rendered with enough fidelity that in-game stills are frequently mistaken for photographs of the actual city.
