From 1906 to 1934, Eugene de Salignac shot over twenty thousand 8-by-10-inch glass-plate negatives of New York City. As sole photographer at the Department of Bridges/ Plant & Structures during that period of dizzying growth, he documented the creation of the city`s modern infrastructure bridges, major municipal buildings, roads, & subways. For years, these remarkably lyrical photographs have been used in books & films, but never credited to de Salignac. ” New York Rises” is the first monograph to present them as an aesthetically coherent oeuvre by a photographer with a unique vision. As meticulous in his record keeping as he was creative in his photography, de Salignac left five handwritten logs that identify each negative by place & exact date. This information is complemented throughout the book by narrative captions expanding on themes such as accidents, bridges, workers, & the Depression. Michael Lorenzini has unearthed primary sources to reconstruct de Salignac`s biography. Kevin Moore explores his work in the context of other photographers of the period, including Eugene Atget & Berenice Abbott. ...

ITMB expands its coverage of the USA with a detailed map of New York State & New England on a double-sided map at a very detailed scale. The one side covers most of the state & the southern portion of the New England states, along with an inset map of the greater NYC area, the other side covers from Boston & Cape cod to the northern extremes of Maine & west into Vermont, with inset maps of Boston & Boston Region. The reality of mapping the USA is that it is too large a country & too populous to be mapped in detail except by regions. As a sophisticated economy, it has thousands of towns & an intensive road/rail network. Most American mapping companies took the easy route & mapped one state at a time. As some states are relatively small, this resulted in a visitor needing to acquire dozens of maps to cover the extent of their visit. This map is a giant step forward in providing sensible mapping for a great country to visit. ...
