In New York City, many of the finest and most interesting examples of sculpture are to be found not in museums, not in private collections, but on the streets themselves. In this album, the camera has separated reliefs, statues, and sculptures from their architectural context and has presented them as an independent visual art form. The photographs show pieces from the late 1870s to the 1960s. This beautiful volume serves as one of the few tributes to a remarkable art form, and as one of the only records of an era.
