Be transported to New York during the Gilded Age and experience daily life in one of the world's most vibrant cities through mesmerizing, contemporary 3D photography and exciting tales of the time.
Black Dog & Leventhal has partnered with the New-York Historical Society to present New York in the Gilded Age as it's never been viewed before. This innovative package includes a sturdy metal stereoscopic viewer and 50 stereoscopic photographs of turn-of-the-century New York. The package also includes a 128-page paperback that provides a brief history of the stereograph craze and an overview of the city's evolution during that time.
New York City in 3D in the Gilded Age details the rapid growth of Manhattan from 1877 to 1910, when nearly half of the millionaires in America lived in the city. Enduring structures such as the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, Grand Central Station, Ellis Island Immigration Station, and the first skyscrapers were built during this time, culminating in the construction of the 47-story Singer Building in 1908. The 50 stereoscopic images include Coney Island lit up at night; a view of Madison Square Garden in 1900 from the top of the Flatiron Building; peddlers' carts on Elizabeth Street in 1904; the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1880; the Ellis Island dining room in 1907; and Times Square with the new Astor Hotel in 1908.
Detailed descriptions of the scenes depicted in each stereographic photograph are included on the back of the photo.
