Review Quotes: I See a City: Todd Webb's New York shows an upbeat, down-market post-World War II Manhattan, filled with sidewalk vendors and one-story sheds and hand-painted signs. . . . His pictures present a vividly comestible pedestrian- eye view, one that invites you to walk into that pawnshop, take a seat on that streetcar.-- "New York Times Book Review"
