A deluxe, expanded edition of one artist’s chic and humorous visual homage to two of the world’s most iconic cities Inspired by the popularity of French graphic artist Vahram Muratyan’s original Paris versus New York book, here is an expanded large-trim edition with more than thirty additional new pairings of iconic images from the City of Lights and the Big Apple.
