The Not-So-Wild Animals of New York

New York City is teeming with wildlife, though not the kind that barks, tweets or growls. Beginning in the late 19th century, architects embellished the city’s buildings with a variety of animals big and small, humble and grand.
This color photography collection of 50 silent creatures is just a sample of what can be seen throughout Manhattan. Each photo is accompanied by a relevant quotation from some of the great authors, philosophers, songwriters, and humorists.
Every animal photo notes its Manhattan address. Keep the book on your phone to consult and use as a guide for an archaeological adventure!
