Ten iconic images of
New York City taken from book jackets of the 1920’s and ‘30’s
include a hansom cab driver toasting the cityscape, scenes of
café society, the El, checker cabs, bellhops, tenements,
pushcarts, doormen, and kids playing in the spray from a fire
hydrant. The saturated colors, distinctive typefaces, and sophisticated
illustrations vividly recall the Jazz Age and Art Deco era. |
