These 200+ images show you the spectacular views from hundreds of
New York Citys finest residences. Everyone loves an amazing view,
and some pay millions for a property with views across Central
Park, the East River, the Hudson River, or the Midtown skyline. In
the jungle of glass, stone, and steel that is New York City, it is
impossible to overstate the value of an incredible view. Tauber, a
Manhattan-based independent photographer, shot these images over
the last decade while shooting New York Citys finest properties for
real estate firms, architects, interior designers, developers, and
magazines. This collection reflects the shimmering pull of New York
City views through the seasons, from morning light over Central
Park to twilight over the Hudson.
Before television and MTV, the radio was central in the home, a way
for the family to gather to hear the news or listen to music. At
one time, the radio was a piece of hand-crafted wood furniture and
limited stations fell silent during part of the day. Over 175
images provide an impressive visual journey through the radio s
aesthetic history reflecting all the major design changes across
the years. The images also reveal the diversity of materials,
textures, colors, shapes, and sizes of radios of earlier ages. It
ranges from the 1920s tabletop wooden console models in the classic
bread box, cathedral, and tombstone styles, the wooden and early
Bakelite and Catalin plastic art deco models of the 1930s to the
1950s, on to the 1950s thermoplastic models in modern styling, and
the transistors that ascended to prominence in the 1950s and
beyond. Reintroducing machines that few people see anymore and
perhaps hardly know existed, this fascinating book restores the
once state-of-the-art machines' aesthetic glory."
