About This Item
New York: The De Leeuw Riehl Publishing Company, 1910. Pictorial wrappers. Very Good. A bright, very presentable copy of this 1910 photographic history of the great boulevard of New York, Broadway. Attempting to photograph every building on Broadway from Bowling Green at the southern tip of Manhattan up to the southern opening of Central Park at 59th St., this is clearly an ambitious undertaking, especially for its time, created and published by Rudolph M. De Leeuw. Light creasing to the front panel, 2 small strips of clear tape neatly applied at the spine ends as reinforcement, along with clean adhesive strengthening at both inner hinges. Wonderful local, period ads generously interspersed throughout. Thick, oblong quarto in its pictorial wrappers, 504 pgs., hundreds of crisp, skillful black-and-white photos plus a number of engravings at the rear. A nice piece of turn-of-the-century New York architectural history.
