Cloth. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. A NEAR FINE, bright, clean, tight copy sans rips/tears, stains, discoloration and interior markings. PROLIFICALLY ILLUSTRATED in full-color and black-and-white photography (many full-page) with accompanying descriptive captions. "Photographer James Rudnick moved to Brooklyn, New York in 1977 and almost immediately began to document two nearby landmarks: the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge. As preparations commenced for the centennials of these magnificent structures-in 1983 and 1986-Rudnick was drawn to the restorations, spending countless hours suspended above the bridge's cables or hidden within the statue's wrought-iron armature to record the intricate process of rebuilding and refinishing. In the late 1980s and the 1990s, he turned his camera on the renovations of two more of New York's grand places: the New York Public Library and Grand Central Terminal." 184 pages. "Gotham Restored: The Preservation of Monumental New York" gathers more than 150 of Rudnick's photographs-from close studies of dedicated conservators at work to vertigo-inducing panoramas taken high in ceilings or atop towers-into a unique exploration of the great architecture of New York. The comprehensive portfolios not only present compelling evidence of the vital importance of historic preservation but also lovingly portray four masterpieces that represent the American character nationally and internationally, four architectural icons that are integral parts of and outstanding works in the spectacular cityscape of New York."

Hardcover. Condizione: Used - Very Good. James Rudnick moved to Brooklyn, New York, in 1977 to attend graduate school and almost immediately began to photograph two nearby landmarks: the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge. Both structures were approaching their centennials, and Rudnick was soon drawn into the resulting restorations as a documentary photographer. He followed this work, in the 1980s and 1990s, with similar projects at the New York Public Library and Grand Central Terminal. These four monuments are emblems of America's transformation at the end of the nineteenth century and, more particularly, of New York City. Rudnick's photographs -- both color and black-and-white -- are a unique exploration of the great architecture of New York, from 'before' shots showing sadly ignored structures to fascinating in-progress images of craftspeople and techniques to spectacular views of the gleaming, post-restoration monuments. Accompanying the photographs in this beautifully designed volume is text by Thomas Mellins that discusses the history of New York City, notably the period from 1865 to 1915 in which the four landmarks were built, as well as the development of the city's historic preservation movement, both popular and institutional. Rudnick himself describes the details of each restoration in informative captions; his evocative afterword beautifully recounts his own engagement with the spectacular architectural legacy of New York. Rear cover nicked on bottom edge. Black remainder mark covered with white-out.…

hardcover. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
