Travel back in time to a New York City very different from the one we know today. These scenes come from approximately the late 1930s and show the Big Apple from the air and ground level. Included are shots of the famous Chrysler Building, Statue of Liberty, and people from daily life around the city (public domain video). Please see also Volume 22: New York Night Aerials, and Volume 27: Modern Day New York.
