Historic black and white photos of New York City
The Atlantic, which has to be the finest magazine in America, have compiled a remarkable collection of photos from the newly released database of the New York City Municipal Archives. Their collection numbers some 2.2 million images of New York in the twentieth century, from which, 870,000 photos have been made available for public use. It’s truly inspiring to see the wonderful city evolve over the decades.

The photographs of New York City are beautiful. However, the magazine which is identified as The Atlantic Monthly hasn’t been a monthly in a long time. These days, it’s issued ten times a year, and called The Atlantic. The Atlantic is a fine magazine, but if someone calls it the best I’ll have to argue. Have you read The New York Review of Books?
