Download or read book Vintage Postcards of New York written by Silvia Lucchini and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A delightful collection of vintage and antique postcards of New York. This book presents a rare collection of more than 100 of the best vintage New York City postcards, providing a snapshot of how much the Big Apple has changed—and how much has remained recognizably the same. During the early years of the twentieth century, postcard photographers traveled the length and breadth of Manhattan snapping images and documenting landmarks and important new architectural masterpieces, such as the Singer Building (1908), the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower (1909), and the Woolworth Building (1913)—each of which succeeded the other as the world’s tallest building at the time of their respective completion. Also celebrated were the engineering feats of the Brooklyn Bridge and the elevated trains and early subway, as well as popular amusements such as the original Madison Square Garden and the Hippodrome, which occupied an entire city block at Longacre Square—since renamed Times Square. Scenic views of the city from a distance were equally popular—and in fact led to the coining of the word "skyline" in 1896. This charming keepsake volume is the perfect souvenir for architecture and history buffs and makes a wonderful gift.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This postcard book pairs the words of inspired observers of New York--including E.B. White, Alfred Kazin, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Frank Lloyd Wright--with vintage scenes of the city. "It was three years before we saw New York again. As the ship glided up the river, the city burst thunderously upon us in the early dusk...A band started to play on deck, but the majesty of the city made the march trivial and tinkling. From that moment I knew that New York, however often I might leave it, was home. --F. Scott Fitzgerald "Manhattan has been compelled to expand skyward because of the absence of any other direction in which to grow...It is to the nation what the white church spire is to the village--the visible symbol of aspiration and faith, the white plume saying that the way is up." --E. B. White "But something of the city we now love will still abide, I hope, to link our days with yours. There is little true glory in a city that is always changing. New stores, new steeples are comely things; but the human heart clings to places that hold association and reminiscence."--Christopher Morley "Cut off as I am, it is inevitable that I should sometimes feel like a shadow walking in a shadowy world. When this happens I ask to be taken to New York City. Always I return home weary but I have the comforting certainty that mankind is real flesh and I myself am not a dream."--Helen Keller

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of New York from colonial fur trading hub of New Amsterdam into one of the most vibrant and exciting cities on earth has been documented many times. Countless films, songs, photographs and books tell the story of this quintessential metropolis and global icon. But this lavish, beautiful volume offers a new perspective through Andreas Adam's vast collection of rare picture postcards that recount the city's changing identity and culture over a century. The 900 vintage cards in 'New York in Postcards 1880-1980', organised by subject and geographic area, bring to life the look and feel of their eras and vividly depict every aspect of New York City over a century: 19th-century street scenes, famous architectural landmarks, lush gardens, cars and trains, everyday life and historical events. The images themselves are a fascinating melange of artistic media, including archival photographs, drawings and paintings, and represent a wide range of styles from art nouveau to neo-objectivism, naturalism and pop art. This book is rounded-out with essays by Paul Goldberger, the 'New Yorker's' renowned architecture critic, and art historian Kent Lydecker on the visual narrative and the architectural history of New York and the cultural history of the picture postcard.
