The City of New York is full of color. Color in the streets, color in the buildings, color in the clothes, color in the signs, color in the parks, color in the sky and color in the water. Vintage New York City is written as a chronological full-color collection of vintage images of New York City with enough historical text to define the image in its place in history. Vintage New York City encompasses the period before and after the turn of the 20th century, a period of great transition for New York City and the world as a whole. Written in a quick-read style for the busy modern reader, and with over 60 restored and enhanced maps, prints and photos in brilliant period color, Vintage New York City will both inform and delight the reader with the vintage imagery of New York City, virtually all of which will be new and exciting to modern readers.
