| Summary: | Great cities are places of vivid contrasts, like New York in 1910. This period gave us the most majestic architecture the city has known-and a Lower East Side that was likely the most overcrowded district on earth. Pulsating with working-class life, pushcart vendors hawked their wares and made a perpetual street-market of the neighborhood. High society and the lower class remained very discrete, and the energy in the air was undeniably frenetic. * See New York through the eyes of three talented painters, Childe Hassam, Louis Sonntag, Jr., and William Merritt Chase. * Visit Manhattan's Washington Arch, its first permanent arch, marking the beginning of famous 5th Avenue. * Locals and tourists alike will discover a new side to New York's culture and history. * Discover interesting little-known facts like how Manhattan-with no back alleys, and so many people crowded into tenements-became cluttered with mounds of garbage that tumbled into the streets. * Historian Francis Morrone combines a fascinating introduction together with compelling narrative to accompany each painting. |
