Description
New York Then and Now - People and Places is a whole new take on Anova Books' best-selling trademark series.
Featuring predominantly images from New York City it shows how much and how little has changed over 150 years - since the dawn of photography up to the 1960s and 70s. As well as New York City's most favorite tourist locations; Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Empire State, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, Fifth Avenue, Central Park, Columbus Circle - there are excursions to favored destinations in New York state, such as 'Mark Twain country' - the Finger Lakes, Long Island and the Montauk Lighthouse as well as the Falls at Niagara. Packaged in a smaller format than any other Then and Now, the text has been stripped back to small captions to allow the amazing collection of past and present photos to speak for themselves.
