Summary note
Chronicles more than 100 years of poster design celebrating New York City. From beguiling advertisements inviting immigration to luxurious images of well-heeled passengers aboard colossal ocean liners, from pleas to support a nation during wartime to optimistic enticements for two worlds' fairs, this volume reminds us how the world fell in love with New York City and showcases how the city's wonders were promoted for more than a century.
