- Summary
- The author, the son of two New York City printmakers, has compiled this collection of watercolors depicting the part of the city he loved--the waterfront and harbor of lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. Based on photographs taken by his father in the twenties and thirties, seen here are the city's docks, storefronts, bustling streets, and iconic bridges. These 46 watercolors give an intimate sense of the past in this diverse locale. Each painting is accompanied by descriptive and informative text, placing the view in the context of the city and its history.
