Taschen Book : New York Author: Reuel Golden

ISBN: 9783836505147 Format: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 572 Published: 5 September 2010 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 34.8 x 25.6 x 4.8 Description:

This book presents the epic story of New York in photographs, photo-portraits, maps, and aerial views - nearly 600 pages of emotional, atmospheric images, from the mid-19th century to the present day.

Supplementing this treasure trove of images are hundreds of 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 broken-hearted but unbowed citizens picked up the pieces.

Chapter One (1850-1913) focuses on New York's dramatic emergence as America's greatest metropolis.

Chapter Two (1914-1945) traces the boom of the 1920s, the Great Depression, and the construction of the city's most famous landmarks: the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center.

Chapter Three (1946-1965) sees New York become the world's first truly international city, with the construction of the U.N. headquarters.
