An in-depth work on the swiftly expanding city of New York, with chapters on the approach from the sea, streets, sky-scrapers, Fifth Avenue, the bridges, water-ways, traffic and trade, and much more. Written by John Charles Van Dyke, an American art historian, critic, and nature writer. Illustrated by Joseph Pennell, a prolific American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator.
