"...Photographer Richard Berenholtz provides photographs of Manhattan's 'most stylish and dazzling' period: the 1920s and 1930s. Carol Willis, architectural historian, writes in the introduction that the Art Deco style was characterized by geometric ornamentation and 'machine-tooled elegance and sleek lines.' ...Berenholtz captures the skyline in the glimmering orange of sunrise and kaleidoscopic lights of sunset. Many photographs are complemented by quotations from people such as capitalist Ayn Rand: 'The skyline of New York is a monument of splendor that no pyramids or palaces will ever equal or approach.'"

"Richard Berenholtz's photographs, whether they zoom in on a figure of Mercury on Rockefeller Center or display the Gotham skyline at sunset, emphasize the streamlined style of New York's deco landmarks"

"They are gorgeous photos suitable for art and architecture libraries and highly recommended for any collection with an interest in New York City"
