A must-have collector’s edition for lovers of photography, history, and the indomitable spirit of NYC. ## Description This book presents the epic story of New York on nearly 600 pages of emotional, atmospheric photographs, from the mid-19th century to the present day. Supplementing this treasure trove of images are over a hundred quotations and references from relevant books, movies, shows, and songs. The city’s fluctuating fortunes are all represented, from the wild nights of the Jazz Age and the hedonistic disco era, to the grim days of the Depression and the devastation of 9/11 and its aftermath, as its brokenhearted but unbowed citizens picked up the pieces. New York’s remarkable rise, reinvention, and growth are not just the tale of a city, but the story of a nation, From the building of the Brooklyn Bridge to the immigrants arriving at Ellis Island; from the slums of the Lower East Side to the magnificent art deco skyscrapers. The urban beach of Coney Island and the sleaze of Times Square; the vistas of Central Park and the crowds on Fifth Avenue. The streets, the sidewalks, the chaos, the energy, the ethnic diversity, the culture, the fashion, the architecture, the anger, and the complexity of the city are all laid out in this beautiful book. This is the greatest city in the world after all and great are its extremes, contradictions, and attitude. More than just a remarkable tribute to the metropolis and its civic, social, and photographic heritage, New York: Portrait of a City pays homage to the indomitable spirit of those who call themselves New Yorkers: full of hope and strength, resolute in their determination to succeed among its glass and granite towers. Features hundreds of iconic images, sourced from dozens of archives and private collections―many never before published―and the work of over 150 celebrated photographers, including Victor Prevost, Jacob Riis, Lewis Hine, Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Berenice Abbott, Walker Evans, Weegee, Margaret Bourke-White, Saul Leiter, Esther Bubley, Arnold Newman, William Claxton, Ralph Gibson, Ryan McGinley, Mitch Epstein, Steve Schapiro, Marvin Newman, Allen Ginsberg, Joel Meyerowitz, Andreas Feininger, Charles Cushman, Joseph Rodriguez, Garry Winogrand, Larry Fink, Jamel Shabazz, Allan Tannenbaum, Bruce Davidson, Helen Levitt, Eugene de Salignac, Ruth Orkin, Joel Sternfeld, Keizo Kitajima, and many more. Review: The New York of all the great movies - A magnificent, fascinating, beautiful photographic portrait of New York. Anyone who is a fan of the imagery of painter Edward Hopper, film makers Scorsese & Coppola, writer Scott Fitzgerald, and many others like these will recognise the city streets and architecture and the lives of New Yorkers as captured by some of the great photographers over 120+ years. A thick image packed book with great paper and image reproduction. I have spent hours pouring over these pictures in complete absorption and transportation to another place and time. Would make a great gift to anyone! Review: Good value, but for full impact of the beautiful images, get the larger format version. - Really evocative photos and some interesting historical details in the text. Would be better in the larger-format version but that is quite expensive (~£60) and this one has the same images, just smaller. Good value regardless. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 315,669 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 22 in United States Travel Photography 117 in Architectural Photography 138 in History of Photography | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 392 Reviews | ## Images ![New York.
