The City Beneath Us: Building the New York Subway Hardcover - 2004
by New York Transit Museum; Vivian Heller (Editor)
Made from 8 x 10-inch glass negatives from the turn of the last century, and reproduced here in glorious duotone, over 175 images from the New York Transit Museum show the incredible construction techniques and details involved in creating the New York Subway.
First line
In a film comedy by Thomas Edison, a man carrying a lunch pail hurries up to a subway kiosk, shakes the hand of a subway official seated just inside the entry, rushes down the steps, leaps down onto the track, lights a stick of dynamite-and is then seen shooting through the subway tunnel, arms outstretched, ribbons of cloth fluttering at his sides.
