Glimpses of the new Coney Island : America's most popular pleasure resort; reproduced from best and latest photographs.
A 1904 photographic souvenir album published in New York by the Isaac H. Blanchard Co., showing Coney Island's amusement district, hotels, streets and rail lines for visitors and buyers of picture books. The pages are printed as paired black-and-white photographs with captions, several turned sideways on the page. For a designer, the images offer period views of Victorian resort architecture, crowded boardwalk promenades, and early elevated railway structures.
