New York - Jacqueline Goossens; Tom Ronse
KORTE INHOUD
A photographic journey into the dazzling past of a metropolis that never ceases to amaze
It is often said that you can’t do the same walk twice in New York. Its history may be short compared to that of European cities, but it is also a history marked by lightning-fast change. Thanks to the art of photography, we are able to see that fascinating history.
