Description:
This 1893 edition of KING\'S HANDBOOK OF NEW YORK CITY is a veritable time capsule of information and period photographs direct from New York\'s Gilded Age. As publisher Moses King writes in his Preface:
Never before has any one put forth an illustrated history and description of New York City in a single volume at all comparable with KING\'S HANDBOOK. This volume contains exactly 1,008 pages, more than 1,000 illustrations, thirty chapters, and an index of twenty-four pages with 60 columns, containing over 5,000 items and about 20,000 references. The text furnishes an elaborate but condensed history and description of the city itself, and also of every notable public institution and especially interesting feature. The illustrations give many reminders of the past, and furnish an extensive series of pictures of the present city, to an extent many times beyond that of any volume yet published. Every plate has been made expressly for this book, and so were nearly all of the original photographs. The whole has been printed on an exceptionally fine quality of paper. Altogether, it is the handsomest, the most thorough, the largest, the most costly, and the most profusely illustrated book of its class ever issued for any city in the world.The illustrations are almost wholly from specially-made photographs, upwards of fifteen hundred negatives having been made by Arthur Chiar, who has shown most remarkable skill in photographing exceedingly difficult subjects. Some photographs were also made by Frank E. Parshley, John S. Johnston, C.C. Langill and others. The designs for the cover lining papers and the series of bird\'s-eye views were made by the New York Photogravure Company, the President of which is Ernest Edwards. The outside cover design is by Ludwig S. Ipsen, of Boston.
When you look at the summaries of photos below, keep in mind that they are individual photos. There are hundreds and hundreds of them! They are full-page, half-page, quarter page ... all sizes. It\'s a literal archive. There are also a number of illustrations made from photos, so masterfully rendered and exacting in detail that I often found myself squinting to tell the difference.
The value of this book increases when you consider that many of the grand old buildings and structures featured in the photos were demolished long ago. But the value of this book isn\'t limited to the photos. The sheer amount of information it contains is incredible. For each category -- hotels, churches, hospitals, retail establishments, wholesalers, financial, etc -- it not only lists every significant entity operating in New York City in 1893, but furnishes pertinent factual information about history, patrons, quality of service, etc., that would otherwise slip through the cracks of time.
In order to give you the most accurate description of this rare and valuable book, I have provided some helpful details below, starting with the Table of Contents. For the benefit of buyers who are historians, architectural scholars, genealogists, etc. -- and who routinely use books like this for specific research (in fact, I\'ve had people offer on this book just to get one photo they need) -- I have also personally prepared summaries of the various historic photo views in the book, arranged by category.
My summaries do not appear in the book -- I present them here for your convenience, and so that you\'ll be able to make an informed decision when offerding. At the bottom of this page, you can see some of the photos for yourself.
