Hardcover Book, Manhattan, Photographic Tour, First Edition, Reference, Non-Fiction, Illustrated

A fantastic hardcover book entitled Manhattan A Photographic Tour by Carol M. Highsmith and Ted Landphair. Eminent photographer Carol M. Highsmith has captured the essence of Manhattan in a stunning new collection of over one hundred city portraits, ranging from breathtaking panoramas of the celebrated skyline to close-ups of architectural details. Her camera sweeps across the city, pausing at the magnificent stainless-steel Art Deco Chrysler Building, the twin towers of the World Trade Center, Rockefeller Center, and other architectural landmarks, then traversing Manhattan's eclectic neighborhoods to discover the heartbeat of this urban wonderland. Ted Landphair's compelling account of the history of Manhattan, illustrated throughout with historical photographs, provides the perfect complement to Highsmith's contemporary photography. The crisp, lively introduction and captions reveal little-known facts and anecdotes about the city. Manhattan: A Photographic Tour captures the island of Manhattan in all its cocky vigor, beauty, and trendsetting sophistication.
