Chicago: Photographs (The Magnificent Great Cities) - Softcover

In this richly illustrated book, award-winning photojournalist Santi Visalli has taken a fresh look at the city he has photographed so beautifully. He captures the fascinating contrasts of Chicago: the weather, the lake, and the urban hub. Spectacular views of the city's many neighborhoods and cultural pursuits-Old Town, Chinatown, Orchestra Hall, the Lincoln Park Zoo-are joined by images of the city's awe-inspiring architecture, including the monuments of Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Ludwig Mies van de Rohe.

A new title in the travel series from Universe, Chicago is a great package at an affordable price, offering tourists the perfect memento of an unforgettable trip. A gorgeous celebration of what is one the United States' most cherished cities, the book will also be a favorite for natives who are proud to call the Windy Cindy their hometown.

Santi Visalli's photographs have appeared in Time, Newsweek, and the New York Times. He is the author of Universe's San Francisco and New York.
