Meltingpot New York
The most important metropolis on the American east coast already cast a spell on people when it was still called New Amsterdam and the Manna-Hatta Indians still lived on the island. The city’s importance grew immeasurably when more than 17 million immigrants landed here between 1894 and 1954. A look back shows the history, iconic buildings and rapid growth.
THE WORLD IN PICTURES
Cartography is the science and technology of representing celestial bodies in a thematic and topographical way, but it also documents a change in the world view over the centuries. And as we can see, cartography is almost an art form in its own right, to which we absolutely wanted to dedicate a feature of our own.
