by Ingrid Steffensen

This small illustrated handbook discusses both the great artistic collaboration that created The New York Public Library's magnificent flagship building at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street and the cultural and historical influences on its architecture. Author Ingrid Steffensen, an architectural historian presents fascinating information about the ornamentation of the Fifth Avenue facade, decorative motifs within the building, the murals on the first and third floors, and many other points of interest. Illustrations include several images from the NYPL Archives and elsewhere that have rarely, if ever, been reproduced before.

Softcover, illustrated throughout, 64 pages.
