Summary: Artist Aldren Watson, the accomplished son of two New York City printmakers, has made a beautiful and historically rich collection of watercolors depicting the part of the city he loved—the waterfront and harbor of lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. Based on photographs taken by his father in the twenties and thirties, here are the city’s docks, storefronts, bustling streets, and iconic bridges as they once were. These 46 watercolors give us an intimate and accurate sense of the past in this diverse locale, while capturing the feel and romance of the vital port of New York. Each painting is accompanied by descriptive and informative text, placing the view in the context of the city and its history. (^Available November 2014^)
