Manhattan Reading Room, 1950s

Welcome to the Manhattan Reading Room: quiet music for reading, set in 1950s New York. 📚🗽

Every week we step into one real week of the 1950s, the same calendar dates as today, from 1950 to 1959. Each video is one true scene from that week, painted by hand in oil, with soft piano jazz to read by.
