An outstanding collection of 300 images of New York
Not Only Buildings New York is an outstanding collection of 300 images of New York assembled from the postcard collection by architect Italo Rota. These hand-painted cards depicted New York City's major attractions, and Not Only Buildings New York offers the outstanding cards in all their glory in a fine keepsake edition any New York fan will relish.

The three hundred pre-1940 postcards should have made the buildings of Big Apple come alive, instead so many of the cards are shown too large and this emphasizes the flaws in the original printing of these mass produced postcards.

Postcards of the Big Apple,
This review is from: New York: Not Only Buildings (Architecture Tools) (Paperback)
I was disappointed by this book. The three hundred pre-1940 postcards should have made the buildings of Big Apple come alive, instead so many of the cards are shown too large and this emphasizes the flaws in the original printing of these mass produced postcards. However you could use this book as a taster for the much more interesting 'American Architecture: a vintage postcard collection' by Luc Van Malderen. This has over six hundred postcards with 188 devoted to New York city, all beautifully printed with detailed captions about each building.Both books show images of a city that must have been awe-inspiring to the people who bought these postcards and mailed them to the folks back home.
