Bridgehampton is a fascinating look at one of the prime resort areas on the South Fork of Long Island. The history of Bridgehampton was captured magnificently by studio and itinerant photographers whose work from the mid-1800s to the late 1900s is reflected here. These stunning images show people as they raised children, worked on the farm, worshiped, studied, socialized, and played. The faces show expressions of pride, joy, and, occasionally even boredom, providing a realistic portrayal of the past.

St. James
ISBN: 9781531628130 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. St. James sits among a variety of old and intensely interesting communities that dot the north shore of Long Island, many of which date to the mid-1600s. After being named in the mid-1800s, it quickly became one of the hot spots that stars of the American vaudeville stage made their own. Built beside the homes of farmers and millers were hotels, a casino, and the mansions of the rich and famous, giving the community a fascination all its own--a fascination that is clearly captured in the pages of St. James.
