贝丽尼斯•艾伯特是**批拍摄纽约的人之一。通过她的镜头，这座城市变得更加真实生动，仿佛在拥挤的街道上穿行，仰望天空，发现摩天大楼的现代之美。

这本书以几个主题展示了贝丽尼斯•阿博特的作品:她的人物摄影、城市的照片和科学照片。开篇部分颂扬了艾伯特的现代主义，这些作品模仿了从20世纪20年代中期开始改变世界的模塑人物。 第二部分提供了令人眼花缭乱的纽约城市摄影，并探讨了雅培与Atget的关系以及她对他的着迷。 它包括一组Atget的照片介绍，她从他的负片中打印出来。 第三部分也是最后一部分重点介绍雅培的科学照片，她于20世纪40年代末开始制作。

Berenice Abbott was one of the first people to photograph New York. Seen through her camera lens the city became a living entity, a remarkable character whom visitors can now pursue as they move through its crowded streets, looking upwards to discover the modern beauty of its skyscrapers. Shops, people, bridges, streets, interiors, famous buildings under construction seen from outside or from above together make up this portrait.

The publication presents Berenice Abbott’s work in several themes: her portraits, photographs of the city and scientific photographs. The opening section celebrates the modernity in Abbott’s portraits of mould breaking individuals who changed the world from the mid-1920s onwards. The second part offers a dazzling portrait of New York, and explores Abbott’s relationship with Atget and her fascination for him. It includes an introductory group of Atget’s photographs, which she printed from his negatives. The third and final section focuses on Abbott’s scientific photographs, which she began producing in the late 1940s.
