New York
Synthesizing the thousand images of Manhattan island in one single, spectacular 21 foot long photograph! From New York Harbor all the way up the East River, this book captures in the same vista: the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Wall Street, the Empire State and Chrysler buildings, the United Nations, the endless apartment towers of the Upper East Side, and finally Harlem. Going beyond its skyscrapers, bridges and endless streets, photographer Angel Morua captures the magic and continual metamorphosis of this island city.
EAST RIVER
The East River captures the history of New York's premier waterway. The river, a source of life for Native Americans, spawned communities from Brooklyn to Harlem. Its shipyards and docks projected American enterprise around the world. The waterfront, an industrial and commercial dynamo, forged a continent. The dreams of immigrants who arrived and lived on its banks created this nation. The river's strong currents guarded prisons and hospital quarantines while keeping secret legends of gold on its bottom. The sinews of a great city are knitted by more than a score of its tunnels and bridges. Today, a renaissance draws people to this river, the heart of New York.
