Reader's note

As a personal picture by an acute observer and gifted writer, Portrait of New York will be of lively interest to New Yorkers and foreigners alike. The portrait has several facets: there is the remarkable series of more than 100 photographs, by the author and others, of the city and its inhabitants in all their aspects; there are Mr. Beaton’s nervous, witty line drawings which decorate the text itself, in which he has captured the unique spirit of Manhattan - from Chinatown or Greenwich Village to the suite at the Plaza which he has himself decorated; from an opening night at the Metropolitan Opera House to an evening of wrestling at Madison Square Garden.
