Beskrivelse
THE ANSONIA: IMAGES & MEMORIES of one of the Largest, Handsomest and Most Complete Apartment Hotels in the World is a collection of over 325 vintage, rare, and original images with accompanying captions and information that tell the story of the history of the Ansonia, from the time William Earle Dodge Stokes began purchasing the land on New York's Upper West Side, through construction, its grand opening in 1904, and the first decade that followed. Carefully selected images offer a rare and unique glimpse of the extraordinary building that was once the largest hotel in the world and is now one of New York's most beautiful residential buildings. Potential readers should be assured that we purposely design our books to be reminiscent of vintage publications. These are clearly not designed to look like shiny, glossy, coffee-table style books. They are designed to look like someone found them at the bottom of a stack of books, in a dusty old antique shop. Rather than being beautiful, the publishers chose to do something a bit more interesting and creative.
