Gutes Ex. - Englisch. - 1776 BI-CENTENNIAL 1976 NEW YORK CITY. New York, the world's greatest metropolis, is unquestionably a most awe-inspiring city of beauty and magnificence. The eye of the camera depicts for the visitor, through the spectacle of natural color, the prominent buildings, institutions, museums, monuments, parks, churches, historical and modern scenes that makes New York City the world's center of commerce, life and culture. The breath-taking skyscrapers, the theatres, restaurants, night clubs, shops of fashion and design and the rapid flow of activities on this crowded Babylon on the Hudson attracts the visitor from every part of the country and the world. The city as planned by the early Dutch settlers and its phenomenal growth in every phase of endeavor makes it possible to bring away a memory of a cosmopolitan city populated with citizens whose origin can be traced back to every country in the world and who contributed their mark in the culture of this great American city. This abundance of history, tradition and beauty, nowhere to be excelled, is humbly portrayed through the scintillating eye of the camera and the spectacle of natural color. (Vorwort)
