My Recommendation

What you have here is a 'representative' book that uses CGI and green screen photos to give the reader an idea as to what the city looked at from its' beginnings as a forested island to the time of the transfer of sovereignty from the Dutch (in 1614) to the English in 1664.

The use of these illustrative pictures makes it easier to related to the narrative as you literally watch the city grow.

My Recommendation

If you are a visual learner this is the perfect historical guide for you. The artwork and photographs in this book are phenomenal.  The brief history and captions that accompany each picture are easy to follow and highly informative.  This would be a wonderful addition to any history class, I know if my textbooks had looked this amazing I may have learned more. Sasha Vosk does an excellent job in showing New York as it was 400 years ago.
