More than half of the millionaires in the United States lived in the city. Previously unimaginable sums of money were made and spent, while poor immigrants were packed in tenements. The gap between the rich and the poor was wide, yet wealth was flaunted at every opportunity, from showy parties to lavish clothing and richly furnished mansions. The period also saw great innovations for all, including the New York City subway system, electric lighting, and the first urban ambulance service. \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew York City in 3D in the Gilded Age\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e encapsulates a city determinedly positioned at the forefront of culture, politics, and innovation and includes vivid firsthand accounts from writers, politicians, and residents during this period. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Detailed descriptions of the scenes depicted in each stereographic photograph are included on the back of the photo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Esther Crain, New-York Historical Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1579129579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781579129576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Dog \u0026amp; Leventhal Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.80w x 2.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2014 pg. 106\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNot available to be shipped via Media Mail\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Esther Crain","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991625826559,"sku":"9781579129576","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b5cccf1-c5fa-4ed6-ac2b-3f4e36524ca3.jpg?v=1683311339","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-york-city-in-3d-esther-crain-9781579129576","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
