Coburn, "enthused by Arthur Symons's 1903 book Cities, envisaged a series of publications on London, New York, Edinburgh, Paris, Venice, Liverpool, Birmingham, Boston and Pittsburgh. These would be a close marriage of inspired texts by a major writer interpreted by his photographs, as in his partnership with Henry James. He eventually realised publications on the first three cities." (Imagining Paradise, p.225)
