Hardbound. Brown cloth board, color illustrated dust jacket, [vii], 376 pp, color and BW illustrations, photos. Painting the Town is a lively gathering of urban scene paintings that documents the development of New York City from a small colonial settlement to the world's foremost metropolis. The 160 cityscapes-ranging from general street scenes, harbor views, skylines, disasters, and celebrations to residential interiors, anecdotal pictures, and satirical vignettes--are drawn from some 2000 paintings in the collection of the Museum of the City of New York. Each painting is paired with commentary that tells the story of some aspect of the City's history. VG/VG, binding shows some signs of age.
