Description
This collection of illustrated turn-of-the-century articles from Harper's Magazine form the text of this exciting look back at early New York City. Compiled by Frank Oppel
Travel back on a fascinating journey to Turn-of-the-Century New York; to Coney Island, Central Park, the Lower East Side, the excavation and construction of the Subway, the "new" Metropolitan Museum of Art.
From the tenements of lower Manhattan to the high society of Fifty Avenue mansions, New York of the late 1800's to early 1900's comes to life.
All of the articles and illustrations are reproduced in facsimile from the actual magazines of the day.
The New York Athletic Club, the Flatiron Building, the Churches, to the Zoos, not to mention the New York Cab Driver are all seen in a new light that no modern-day author can convey.
