Wish You Were Here! Lost New York in Old Postcards documents the city from the turn of the century to the mid-1950s, the years in which hand-colored postcards were produced. These cards capture images of lost New York-buildings, places, parks, hotels, subways, restaurants, nightclubs, theaters, and stores-that no longer exist or have been transformed by the constant change defining New York as a work in progress. An exhibit of the contents of this book can be seen at The Museum of the City of New York, where the author's collection will be donated.
