New York in the 1930s (Pocket Archives Series)
Editorial Reviews Amazon.com There is no question that the images of Manhattan in this book--the East River docks drenched in sunlight, a street vendor offering roasted chick peas, a corner of Central Park blanketed by snow--were made by a man in love with and in awe of this incredible city. Landmark buildings such as the Paramount Theater and the Planetarium, and notable people including Lucky Luciano and Ella Fitzgerald--as well as ordinary people, including recent immigrants at Ellis Island--populate the landscape of Samuel Fuller's New York City. The introduction to the collection meanders nostalgically through a lost era that nonetheless resonates through the city today. Fuller was an acclaimed early American filmmaker, and this collection of his still images makes it clear that he was an accomplished photographer as well.
