"These rare photographs from the collection of the Museum of the City of New York show interior views of New York City homes, businesses and public places as they looked between 1893 and 1916. The work of photographer Joseph Byron, the pictures record largely vanished settings and locales from the period of Eclecticism in American interior design...Eighty photographs of homes show fully furnished drawing rooms, dining rooms, studies, bedrooms, nurseries, kitchens, music rooms, conservatories, stairhalls, billiard rooms, Turkish corners, and other home interiors, sometimes with the inhabitants present. Most of the pictures were taken in the homes of the rich, the Whitneys, Astors, prominent merchants and professionals, the naturalist Erney Thompson Seton, Elsie de Wolfe; several photos show how well-to-do and fairly well-off New Yorkers lived, and a few illustrate conditions in the slums. The public interiors pictured include an early Thomas Cook's travel office, Macy's, W & J Sloan's, lounges and ballrooms of the Prince George, Ritz-Carlton and Astor Hotels, barber shops and soda fountains, bars, restaurants, theatres, banks, a hospital, college dormitory rooms, a Bowery mission, several offices, and two interiors of the luxury liner Lusitania."-blurb from back of book.
