 Another Book Worth the Price February 14, 2008

Please see my review for the 1930's book by the same photographer. It is just a continuation of a work well begun by this talented lady photographer. I am just thankful that these books have been reprinted without being changed except for possible correction of typographical errors.

Like other books in the series, captures a moment that has been lost as the world changes! Great piece for those who were there or are there now.
New York tension May 4, 2006

This book is not just great history, it is also great art; and for those of us who have had the good fortune to have lived in this city for some years, it is also personal history, a biography of ourselves. Feininger shows brilliantly the tension that exists in New York between humanity and modernity, between glitter and true human feelings. To me this seems almost Hopperesque, although with less stringency. Andreas Feininger is not unlike his father a master in the portrayal of affectionate structures.
NY in the 40s April 19, 2000

Compared to Dover's Old New York in Early Photographs you really see how NY has changed. The photos are starting to get very familiar. Maybe you even ask yourself, as an Italian, living in a medievil town, why did they knock down those beautiful late 19th century buildings for sky scrappers. The photo of of "fisherman on Sheepshead Bay" offers us the only sense of tranquility. Scary.
