Portrait of New York - Cecil Beaton, B. T. Batsford, London, 1948. Hardcover with illustrated dust jacket. 135 pages. Excellent condition. Some light foxing on the inside cover.
"A catalogue of my impressions, mostly visual, of a city that, with each visit, becomes for me ever more beguiling, mysterious & impressive," - Cecil Beaton. "Portrait of New York will be of lively interest to New Yorkers and foreigners alike. The portrait has several facets: there is the remarkable series of more than 100 photographs, by the author and others. There are Mr. Beaton's nervous, witty line drawings which decorate the text; and there is the text itself, in which he has captured the unique spirit of Manhattan-from Chinatown or Greenwich Village to the suite at the Plaza which he has himself decorated."
