Mails from NYC usually within 12 hours. ; 2.2 x 6.0 x 8.8 inches; 640 pages; From Library Jour LJ's reviewer praised Ellis's 1966 epic for its "easy narrative flow its comprehensible scope.its impressive bibliography. " The text is chock-full of interesting tidbits about New York City from Giovanni da Verrazano's first trip into New York Harbor in 1524 to the mid-1960s. "Highly recommended" LJ Copyright 1997 Reed. THE EPIC OF NEW YORK CITY is as good an introduction to the long complex history of the city as anything else out there. In fact it's better than most in spite of its few historical errors. This is an enormous subject that would've daunted most historians. Mr. Ellis' passion and fascination for NYC history is evident on every page. THE EPIC OF NEW YORK CITY is written in short digestible chapters that make for sprightful snappy reading. While uneven in terms of style many of the segments are memorable. In particular I enjoyed the sections that centered on Peter Stuyvesant New York during the American Revolution and the Blizzard of 1888. Those chapters alone were worth the price. #Rocco Dormarunno author of The Five Points Concluded a Novel . Coward-Mccann, Inc hardcover

Inscribed by the artist Gustave Marie to Madame Langlois likely a patron on the inside front board: "en souvenir. en bien respectueux hommage / 5 September 1902." Portfolio rubbed; frayed at spine tips corners and along joints; fore-edge ties lacking. Contents are VG or better; some leaves a little wrinkled and dusty along the edges; occasional faint foxing. Highly detailed skilled costumes designs for men and mostly women begging for display. <br/><br/>Papers of the day hailed the 3 act 5 tableaux revue by "masters of the genre" Monreal and Blondeau as a sensation. It boasted all new costumes and sets and a battalion of young and pretty women. The plates here show a range of amusing sexy chaste or dignified characters described as Parisiana La Cigalle Le Moulin-Rouge Les Enfants Terribles Le Chic L'Amour Le Fetard plus some dandies some military men and more. The costumes are abundant in detail with lace bows fanciful hats and accessories even some surprisingly risque cut-outs. hardcover
