***** just as I opened the book to take a photo, the top post card became unattached. The book was bought new and has never been used. I didn't lower the price because of this. All other postcards fully intact. The book measures 4-1/4" wide x 9" tall x 5/8" thick and was manufactured in 2003 by teNeues Publishing Company. The ISBN is 3-8238-6125-5 and the postcards were printed in Singapore. The set is perfect for sending best wishes to loved ones or for displaying as part of a topographical postcard collection. Don't miss the opportunity to own this original piece of North American history!

About the book:
This text offers a new perspective on New York, the American metropolis. Using a vintage panoramic camera tilted at an angle of 90 degrees, Hamann spent nearly five years setting up shot after shot, often finding himself balanced precariously out on a window ledge, waiting for the perfect light conditions. His stark black and white compositions lend the photographs a dramatic, often dreamlike quality, and offer unique interpretations of some
of the world's most recognizable cityscapes.
