Buenas!! Llevaba tiempo queriendo hacer un hilo de esos bonitos en los que uno disfruta de fotos, curiosidades, historias... Y como disfruto mucho de esos hilos, ¡¡he aquí mi contribución!!! ¡¡Espero que os guste!!  Es una recopilación de fotografías de Nueva York, la mayoría en blanco y negro, y que están ordenadas desde el 1885, hasta el 1979. Gran parte de ellas corresponden a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, si bien es verdad que hay más fotos de años posteriores.

Bowery.  Henry St. Beyond, Towers of Zenith loom in the mist.  Mad King Ludwig in Greenwich Village: Jeferson Market, then Jefferson Courthouse, now Jefferson Library, 6th Avenue.  Murray Hill Hotel with fancy fire escape.  Cities Service Tower. Horse-drawn wagons lingered into the mid-sixties  Prickly skyline with famous bridge, 1935.  Times Square, 1935. Betty Boop on the marquee. The Astor came down mid-sixties, along with Penn Station and Singer Building: a bad time for beaux-arts. Streetcars in the square, no overhead wires.  Times Square looking South to Times Building. Mid-sixties this was stripped to steel skeleton and re-clothed in kitsch marble by mod illustrator Peter Max. More bad times for beaux-arts.  The El featured potbellied stoves.  Fifth Avenue bus in Washington Square  Dapper in front of Dock Department.  Billie’s Bar, First Ave. at 56th.  Bowery and Doyer. 3rd Ave. El.

Building with Coke sign another of Hearst’s skyscraper bases. Unlike the one Foster is currently completing, this one was torn down for the Gulf and Western Building, now re-imagined by Phillip Johnson as the Trump International Hotel.  Jefferson Market with the hulking, deco Women’s House of Detention behind (now demolished for a park). From the barred, open windows, the ladies would hurl obscenities at passersby.  504-506 Broome St. Ancient.  Union Square West. A hilarious jumble gets A+ for accidental design. These lots once held town houses. Their dainty footprints have been preserved, so the buildings have a delicate scale regardless of their height. One is a miniature skyscraper. Scale-obsessed NIMBYs take note: you need to object to a building’s footprint, not its height.  From Jersey, the classic skyline view.  Subway Portrait. Walker Evans, 1938.

Downtown gunsmith  Three icons: Empire State; Horn and Hardart (The Automat), New York’s original restaurant chain, long gone; lamp standard, now being re-installed.  Elevated.  Central Park looking southeast toward Grand Army Plaza. The baronial Savoy-Plaza Hotel dominates with its vast, vaguely French roof and twin chimneys: another major Beaux-Arts landmark demolished mid-sixties. Replaced by Stone’s vapid GM Building, recently acquired by Trump.  Elevated station, Downtown.  Underwear and kosher chickens.  What happens when you burn coal.  A Greek temple burning coal.  Flatiron with Fifth Avenue bus.  Garment District stacked factories steam hats  Arm wrestling in Harlem.  Harlem night club.  Lower East Side, tenement city, looking north.  Streetwall: Park Avenue South.  Raymond Hood, master of Deco.  Seventh Avenue.  South Street, now a theme park and mall.  At the foot of 42nd Street: Normandie with three fat stacks in the middle, Queen Mary with three skinnier stacks at bottom. Normandie burned here, Nazi sabotage claimed. Normandie was that time’s biggest and fastest (Blue Ribbon) |

He subido antiguas porque son fotos más desconocidas para la mayoría -por lo menos para mí lo eran, jeje-. De todas, espero hacer otro día de este verano algún hilo de mis fotos preferidas -actuales- de Nueva York, u otras ciudades! |
