Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Rediscover a hidden chapter of New York City's history with the republication of Springs and Wells of Manhattan and the Bronx, New York City, at the End of the Nineteenth Century by James Reuel Smith. This extraordinary work, originally published in 1938 by the New-York Historical Society, captures the fading pastoral beauty of Manhattan and the Bronx through the lens of an amateur historian and passionate photographer. Between 1897 and 1903, Smith cycled across the city, meticulously documenting over 160 springs and wells-vital sources of water for residents before the dominance of municipal aqueducts. His 154 evocative black-and-white photographs and detailed notes offer a poignant record of a landscape on the cusp of transformation, where cattle grazed at what is now bustling intersections and natural springs flowed freely in areas now covered by concrete.This republication is a treasure for historians, urban studies enthusiasts, photographers, and anyone captivated by New York City's evolution. The book not only preserves a lost era but also resonates with contemporary discussions on urban development, environmental change, and water management. Enhanced with a modern foreword contextualizing Smith's work alongside recent projects like Stanley Greenberg's 2021 photographic retracing of these sites, this edition bridges past and present, inviting readers to reflect on what lies beneath the city's modern façade. Perfect for academic libraries, historical societies, and readers eager to explore the interplay of nature and urban progress, this book is a timeless testament to curiosity and preservation. Don't miss the chance to own a piece of New York's forgotten heritage-order your copy today and step into a world where springs still bubbled under open skies.…
