Breathtaking images for a historical and contemporary overview. An incomparable metropolitan panorama, undoubtedly the easiest to recognize on the planet. New York never sleeps... and is constantly changing: at the time of the first settlements, Manhattan had a very different face, with a multitude of small bays and coves. It's a shame that aerial photography did not yet exist. Today, however, it allows us to capture all the dynamism, splendor, and variety of this metropolis. The book traces its evolution through sensational aerial photographs, from the first shots to the most recent, truly impressive digital images.
After the first chapter devoted to maps and bird's-eye views preceding the advent of aerial photography, the development of the city is presented in three main phases: from 1900 to 1949, from 1950 to 1999 and from 2000 to the present day, to paint a complete picture of its unique history.
- The Big Apple immortalized by the oldest views and the latest aerial photographs
- The history of the metropolis from its foundation to the present day through the fascinating story of an exceptional author
- A stunning series of historical black and white images captures the magical atmosphere of yesteryear
