An incredible accordion-folded gift book that features a panoramic portrait of the island of
Manhattan seen from both the East River and the Hudson River The Manhattan skyline has
always held a unique allure in the world’s imagination. At street level the scale of the city
is dynamic and shifting from towering skyscrapers to intimate pocket parks and older side
streets. At a certain distance the outline of the city is revealed. Traveling the length of
Manhattan by boat along the two rivers that surround the island photographer Laurent Dequick
shows us the city unfurling in a spectacular accordion-folded book. On one side of the book we
follow along a continuous panoramic view from the Hudson River on the other we take in the
view from the East River. Manhattan Skyline reveals a new look at New York City featuring
stunning photographs alongside captions to identify key landmarks and an index of the main
buildings and districts. A foreword by Adam Gopnik sets the stage.
