A themed black-and-white photo book that shows Coney Island over a 50-year time frame (1970GÇô2020).
174 beautiful and visually strong black-and-white photographs of Coney Island and its inhabitants, by well-known and respected New York photographer Harvey Stein.
Coney Island is an American icon celebrated worldwide, a fantasyland of the past with an evolving present and an irrepressible optimism about its future. It is a democratic entertainment where people of all walks of life and places are brought together. There isn’t anywhere else like it, and that is much of its appeal.
Here, 174 evocative black-and-white images, taken by eminent New York photographer Harvey Stein from 1970 through 2020, simultaneously look back in time while giving a current view to the people and activities of this “poor man’s Riviera.” The images capture the wonder and intimacy of Coney Island. There is no photo book that has been published that documents a 50-year time period of a famous location taken by one photographer. Being in Coney Island is like stepping into another society, rather than just experiencing a day’s entertainment.
