Columbia University in Pictures is 128 page hardcover architectural photography book. It presents a collection of 190 stunning photographs showcasing the University over a span of 270 years. Covering all seasons and times of day, this wide-ranging collection offers a refreshingly new perspective of New York's oldest university. Vivid photographs and illustrations capture elaborate architectural details and the text elucidates lesser-known facts about the University: its oldest owned property is a cemetery plot in Brooklyn, gifted to the University in 1847. Columbia University is one of New York City's architectural jewels - on par with more familiar tourist attractions such as the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty - and the images in the title make this self-evident. The second edition showcases the University's birthplace, growth, and current global reach with images dating back to the 18th century.
