Danny Lyon’s "The Destruction of Lower Manhattan" , initially published in 1969, serves as a visual eulogy, documenting the demolition of 60 acres of historic, nineteenth-century buildings below Canal Street in New York. Through black-and-white photography, the book captures both the abandoned interiors and the destruction process, highlighting the human and architectural cost of urban renewal projects that predated the World Trade Center.
This is the first revised edition of this iconic book.
