"From the old Polo Grounds and Ebbetts [sic] Field ballparks to the once-ubiquitous Woolworth's lunch counters and Automats, [this book] elicits a familiar fondness for things past. Drawn mostly from the Museum of the City of New York's rich photographic archive, this collection includes work by renowned photographers Berenice Abbott, Jacob Riis, and Andreas Feininger, along with the strong imagery of prolific commercial firms -- including the Byron Company and the Wurts Brothers -- whose collections at the museum form an unparalleled documentary resource."
