This book is a colorful collection of more than 400 antique hand-painted postcards that offer nostalgic panoramic views of some of the city's best-loved vertical structures. Arranged in chronological sequence, these elegant reproductions dating from the end of the nineteenth century through the Second World War illustrate the stylistic and conceptual evolution of the skyscraper. Images of well known buildings such as the Flatiron Building, Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and Rockefeller Center are interspersed with lesser-known but equally impressive illustrations of hotels, public houses, churches, academic institutions, bridges, and statues.
