Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book brings generations-old concerns regarding morality and urban planning eloquently into the present day. It discusses how unregulated capitalism promotes immorality and how government action can be used to protect the public from its worst excesses. The author supports the use of eminent domain to clear slums, build parks, and increase access to beaches. Although the book focuses on the specific case of Coney Island in New York, its insights are relevant to cities and towns across the country that have faced similar problems with urban planning and incompatible land use. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of urban planning, the relationship between capitalism and morality, or the role of government in protecting the public good.

The group stands behind and beside a mock bar counter bearing painted signage reading "Souvenir from Coney Island" and "The Lost Week-End." Behind them appears a backdrop sign for the "Zombie Café Drinks on the house." The picture is notable for the group of African Americans in it, in an era when de facto segregation kept Coney Island mainly a destination for white visitors, though laws had been passed in 1895 prohibiting segregation. We find similar souvenir photos, including variant scenes also called "The Lost Weekend" from Coney Island during the period, with prop liquor bottles being a common theme in each one. Excellent contrast with light surface wear at margins. 5 x 7 inch gelatin silver photograph.

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Gelatin silver print (9 x 48 in.). Light wear and fading. Framed. This is a splendid panorama of Coney Island taken in 1907. Beginning in 1824 Coney Island began to transition from carriage roads and steamship transport, with a relative lack of urban development, to a more vibrant touristic landscape. Due to its proximity to Manhattan, the island attracted a large number of visitors as early as the 1830s and 1840s. Between 1880 and WWII, Coney Island was the largest amusement area in the United States drawing millions of visitors a year. Dreamland dominates this tremendous panoramic view, which was taken from the Shoot-the-Chutes feature. Built in 1904, Dreamland was intend- ed to surpass Luna Park and Steeplechase Park. To the left of Dreamland Tower, Luna Park s central tower is visible in the distance. Dreamland was illuminated by one million lights and had a railway through a Swiss Alpine landscape, Venetian canals with gondolas, a recreation of the fall of Pompeii, a simulated submarine ride, the Fighting the Flames fire fighting exhibition carried out on a 250 ft. long, 6-story building, and countless other attractions and rides. Considered one of the greatest amusement parks ever built, Dreamland was destroyed by a fire in 1911. The fire started, surprisingly, at a water attraction which was perhaps appropriately named Hell s Gate. Dreamland s role in amusement park history and impact on the American notion of what a park should be is notable considering its brief existence. This panorama was taken at the zenith of that period. This is a rare opportunity to own a large format panorama of Coney Island during the golden age of American amusement parks.
