Inhaltsangabe

The evolution of New York's built environment is chronicled in this breathtaking photographic history organized chronologically by site - from architectural masterpieces to engineering marvels. The majestic history of the city unfolds alongside the story of the visionaries whose stamp it bears today. The city's coming of age coincided with the rise of photography, and this incredible trove of photographs culled from the archives of Time Life and the New York Historical Society are the very images that created the larger-than-life reputation of New York that continues to dazzle the world to this day.
