King’s Views of New York
published by Moses King, 1915. From 1895 until his death in 1909 Moses King contributed more to capturing contemporary New York than any other publisher. His annually published view books are a window into the architecture and streetscapes of turn-of-the-century New York. This one has a dream like cover depicting an ocean liner, a bi-plane, and the skyline featuring the Singer and Woolworth Buildings. After Moses King’s death his son ran his publishing empire for a few years before outsourcing the King archive and name to other view book publishers.
A beautiful antique "soft-cover" style book featuring 80 pages of stunning b&w photographs and drawings showing the splendor that was New York City in the early 1900's. This is not the reprint hardcover edition that appeared in the 1970's, this is the original publication.
