 Philadelphia Then and Now November 15, 2003
Caren Fishman (Cherry Hill, NJ)

I sat down on a Sunday morning to casually glance through what I thought was just another coffee table photography book. Several hours later, thoroughly relaxed and enlightened, I closed Philadelphia Then and Now, having deliberately devoured every word, every image, every comparison-both visual and written, cover to cover. What fun it was to go back and forth. The effort taken to capture identical images was evident page after page. The attention to obscure and amusing snippets of historical detail tied the "then" black and white photos and the "now" colorful photos together perfectly.Treat yourself to a Sunday morning journey to Philadelphia-Then and Now.

This is a really unique collection of photos from the last 150 years in Center City Philadelphia with recent photos taken at the same location. Would make a great gift for someone with Philadelphia ties.It was interesting to see how things have changed - in many places for the better. Center City towards the Ben Franklin Parkway was a dirty grimy place at the turn of the century. The Parkway was a stroke of genius. The Art Museum used to be a water holding area.

This book isn't full of words and is a little on the smaller size, but it's interesting and makes for a good coffee table read. The photographs are really what makes this book, and I can't help but enjoy looking through it, even when I have already done so many times before.
