Building
the Empire State
If this building vaguely
looks familiar it might be due to the fact that in its finished
state, it is an icon. During the construction of the Empire State
Building, weekly pictures were taken, from 4 different angles,
of its progress. Now archived at Columbia University's Avery
Library, the photographs are a unique historical record. And
what better way to view them than in a flipbook. We chose the
angle with the best series of photographs, and then chose 63
images from the set. Each image was carefully matched to register
from one to the other. When the pages are flipped, the Empire
State Building rises before your eyes. Truly fantastic. 4x6 inches,
b&w.
NEW EDITION NOW AVAILABLE.
Includes 14 image sequence of the deconstruction of the Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel and 3 pages of historical background info, including quotes
from the builder, Paul Starett.
