New York City: Museum of Complaint, by Matthew Bakkom
Matthew Bakkom culled the municipal archives of New York City to create this collection of 122 letters to various mayors of New York from Edward Holland in the 1750s to John Lindsay in the late 1960s. This collection includes everything from the humorous to the heartbreaking, covering issues that disturb the average citizen in America?s largest city. The letters showcase the changes in style and respect throughout the decades as society progresses. New York City: Museum of Complaint reproduces the original letters that illustrate how the city and voices of New Yorkers past sound very similar to New Yorkers today, with many of the urban nuisances remaining unchanged.
