<p>The artist , Andras Kaldor, was introduced to opera as a child by his parents who held season tickets to the Budapest Opera. Although he trained as an architect, his love of the opera has proved the stronger influence and he has spent the last twelve years painting all the major opera houses in Europe. The fa ade of each opera house is illustrated in all its splendour, without the distractions of surrounding buildings and street scenes which so often detract from even the best photographs. Each opera house has been personally visited by the artist. The drawings are first done in pen and ink in an architectural manner, with scrupulous attention to detail.

<p>Andras Kaldor is a Hungarian artist living in England who specialises in architectural paintings. His first book, Opera Houses of Europe , chronicled the architectural splendours of the opera lover's world. In his new work he crosses the Atlantic to survey the no less splendid buildings of New York, concentrating mainly on those designed and constructed at the end of the nineteenth century. Most of the buildings featured are included in the New York City Preservation Commission's list. Kaldor features the main fa ades as well as finer architectural details of some fifty historic New York landmarks ranging from the US Custom House and the Woolworth Building in Lower Manhattan, through the Flatiron Building, the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station and St Patrick's Cathedral in Midtown and the Metropolitan Museum, the Dakota and the Frick Collection uptown. Fully detailed map endpapers, designed by Kaldor specifically for this purpose, allow the book to be used as a guide book for tourists</p>
