This review is from: Lewis Hine: The Empire State Building Photographs: A Book of 30 Postcards (Paperback)

"In 1930, Lewis Hine (1874-1940) was commissioned to photograph the construction of the Empire State Building. He documented the project from the ground up, going to great and dizzying lengths to get good shots of the work in progress. Today, Hine's amazing pictures constitute a priceless record of a memorable event in American history. 30 black-and-white photographs reproduced by four-color process.

"Pomegranate's books of postcards contain thirty top-quality reproductions bound together in a handy, artful collection. Easy to remove and produced on heavy card stock, these stunning postcards are a delight to the sender and receiver. Note: postcards are oversized and may require additional postage. ISBN: 1-56640-024-4; size: 4 3/4 x 6 7/8"."--© Pomegranate
