The Columbia University Historical Portrait of NY

Item Details

Description

The Columbia (University) Historical Portrait of NY: an Essay in Graphic History. 1953, 1st edition.Approx. 9.5x11 inches and thick, very good condition. John A. Kouwenhoven has produced a stunning pictorial record of the City of New York. It includes a total of nine hundred reproductions and spans the period from 1626, the probable date of the first known drawing of New Amsterdam, to 1953. Publication was timed to coincide roughly with the bicentennial of Columbia University, the tricentennial of New York as a city, and perhaps somewhat more precisely with the Christmas market in this first year of Republican affluence [Eisenhower's 1st term]. In every respect, including the price, the conception is magnificent, and the execution reproduction, typography, binding — must itself provide a short chapter[in this history].- John Kenneth Galbraith
