Rogers, Agnes and Frederick Lewis Allen, et al. - Metropolis: An American City in Photographs

New York / London, Harper & Brothers, 1934. Hardcover. Black, white and orange DJ and matching boards, with black, orange and white lettering; 192 pp.; richly illustrated in b&w. "There is nothing on earth like a great city for excitement, color and variety -- and there never has been a book like 'Metropolis.' .. a book of 304 pictures which presents the life of seven million men, women and children in New York -- and by implication, the life of other millions in other American cities. It shows how they live, work, get about and play, both the rich and the poor, the fortunate and unfortunate. Here are the subway rush, the Coney Island roller-coaster doing 60 miles an hour, the apartment-dwellers in the Bronx listening to the radio, the fireman fighting a disastrous fire, the Harlem housewife buying shoes for $1.65, the commuters boarding their train for town, the chorus girls making up for a review, the window-cleaner hanging out over 800 feet of space, and so on indefinitely." -- DJ. Fair DJ, Good Book (Ex art library copy with stickers on DJ and book spines and rear pastedown; DJ is heavily edgeworn/toned/chipped/scuffed/smudged; boards are toned/edgeworn/scuffed/smudged; interior is clean but toned, with the occasional smudge or instance of foxing; binding appears solid.) .
