Beschreibung

Signed First Edition, First Printing of this flattering portrait of 1920s New York Governor Al Smith by New York's fabled public works czar and domineering Power Broker, Robert Moses. A youthful and idealistic Moses first acquired transformational power and became schooled in working the levers of influence under the wing of Gov. Smith. And in the Smith period, Moses directed his power toward innovative, quality-of-life-enhancing park projects. By 1962, even as he immortalized his mentor, Moses had evolved into a toll-collecting, express way-obsessed overload determined to cut concrete swaths through vibrant, historic districts of New York City, survivors including some of the city's most iconic neighborhoods. Signed by Robert Moses on the title page. Cloth, 63 pages. The book has a bit of surface loss on the front endpaper from a previous price sticker and a bit of foxing at the edges of the cover. The dust jacket has light edge wear and a bit of foxing on the back cover. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 015324
