Since it was just released figured I'd give a write up to MT Publishing's new Fire Department City of New York: The Dreyfous Collection; A History in Photographs 1912-1947. This must have coffee table book was put together by the Connecticut Firemen's Historical Society and is a must have for any FDNY fan or fire history buff.
From before World War I through the Great Depression until after World War II Albert Dreyfous was the official photographer for the FDNY in a non-paid capacity. He had all access permission, meaning he not only got to cross the fire lines, but also enter the fray with the firefighters. He also documented Medal Days, new apparatus deliveries, parades and other formal occasions. Dreyfous also photographed many chiefs for their personal portraits.
The photos used for this book came from Dreyfous' personal albums.
MT has also recently released HazMat Teams Across America. This contains the history of selected hazardous materials incidents over the past 100 years and features Hazmat teams from across the country. This full color book is another great additon to any library.
We currently have 3 of our most popular coffee table books on sale for 25% off. State Trooper and Badges of the Bravest are $33.75 each. FDNY: The Bravest is now $29.95!
