New York Nocturne The City After Dark in Literature, Painting, and Photography, 1850-1950

A work that examines how the art of the gaslit and electrified city evolved shows how writers and artists took on the city's nocturnal blaze and transformed the scintillating landscape into an icon of modernity, in a study that includes works by Poe, Whistler, Steiglitz, O'Keeffe, Whitman, and many others.
