"William Klein's magnum opus of 1950s photobooks by a native American was never published in the United States. New York is a quintessential monument to the American cultural scene of the 1950s. It is the upside to Robert Frank's downside" as captured in The Americans (Parr & Badger, 235-6, 243)
192 pages filled with numerous black and white photographic images throughout by William Klein printed in beautiful gravure. The first of Klein's famed four city books.
