Vintage Panoramic Photograph Shows 360° View of NYC From New York World Building in 1892

2017-04-10T16:30:00-04:00

New York City-centric historical blog Stuff Nobody Cares About recently stiched together ten separate vintage photographs from 1892 found in the King’s Handbook of New York City in order to create an impressive 360° panoramic photograph showing lower Manhattan from atop the New York World Building, the world's tallest at the time.

Taken from atop Joseph Pulitzer’s New York World Building, you can get a sense of what the entire city looked like before the turn-of-the-century, when the skyscraper emerged and would forever alter the skyline. A golden dome topped Pulitzer’s Building with an observation gallery that gave the visitor the following view. Probably the three most prominent points in the panorama are from left to right, the Post Office, City Hall and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Check out the accompanying article for more analysis and highlights shown in the panorama.

2015-09-24T13:49:44-04:00

New York native photographer Richard Silver tried dozens of careers before landing in photography in 2011, but has since found his true calling in capturing the City he loves.

In this series of incredible vertical panoramic photos, Silver captures the interiors of New York City churches from front to back, only in a way you have never seen done before.

Richard Silver (previously) has a unique way of looking at architecture, building composite photographs from several images that seamlessly reveal a structure’s interior. His new series captures the insides of New York churches, and are perfectly timed for the Pope’s impending arrival on U.S. soil. These images are composed of 6-10 shots, forming a vertical panorama so cohesive that it might give you vertigo.

Visit Silver's Flickr album or his website for more vertigo-inducing panoramic church photos.
