Vintage Photos of New York


Through these old vintage photos, we envision a growing city, catapulted by the mass production of the automobile, a twentieth century industrial revolution had begun.

The roaring twenties of New York City saw new buildings, bridges, and skyscrapers emerging everywhere. Inspired by designs of the popular art deco movement, these buildings cast a new look and one to forever to change the skyline of Manhattan.

Our photographer Joseph H. Sachs (1901-2000) draws us into this time period with photos that entice us to become not just an observer, but also a participant, with a feeling that you are almost living the times of the early years of the twentieth century.
