The Gilded Age is a period in New York City history that saw an explosion of wealth, culture and construction, all helping to make the City what we know today.
A new book from our friends at Ephemeral New York titled The Gilded Age in New York, 1870-1910 covers it all in a beautiful hardcover photobook written by founder/editor Esther Crain.
In forty short years, New York City suddenly became a city of skyscrapers, subways, streetlights, and Central Park, as well as sprawling bridges that connected the once-distant boroughs. In Manhattan, more than a million poor immigrants crammed into tenements, while the half of the millionaires in the entire country lined Fifth Avenue with their opulent mansions.
