'New York is the largest city in the Western Hemisphere, and it is full of the Biggest Things.'
First published in 1960, 'This is New York' by M Sasek is a wondrous children's book full of the artist's characteristic playful mid-century modern style. The city of of imagination finds form among these pages - Italian pizzerias, the subway, fire hydrants, Yankee stadium, the beautiful lights of Times Square, and the skyscrapers (of course)
A golden age of this most iconic of American cities, and one we'd go back to at any time.
M. Sasek was born in 1916 in Prague, Czechoslovakia. An author and illustrator, he is best remembered for his classic stories on the great cities of the world. He died in 1980.
