Description

Scope and Content

The collection of historical photographs and lithographs of New York City consists of about 3,000 items dated from the 1850s until the 1980s. The collection is made up of color photographic prints, color negatives, black-and-white photographic prints, black-and-white negatives, copy prints, studio and cabinet cards, stereo cards, cyanotypes, albumen prints, gelatin silver prints, lantern slides, glass negatives, and Polaroid prints, lithographs, woodcuts, tear sheets, and engravings. The collection also includes official images, newspaper images, and candid images. Also included are images from the photo morgue of the New York Herald-Tribune newspaper, which ceased publication in 1966. Other images were purchased as copies from New-York Historical Society, Museum of the City of New York, WNYC-FM Radio, the Bettman Archive, and from collectors, private vendors, and other institutions. Photos by noted photographers are included.

Series I: Photographs is made up of color photographic prints, color negatives, black-and-white photographic prints, black-and-white negatives, copy prints, studio and cabinet cards, stereo cards, cyanotypes, albumen prints, gelatin silver prints. The photographs are arranged in this series by subject. For example, photographs of the Statue of Liberty are organized under "Monuments, Statue of Liberty." When known, the photographer's name has been included in the scope note.

Series II: Printed Material consists of lithographs, woodcuts, tear sheets, and engravings focusing on New York City themes. This series contains a significant holding of collected etchings originating from The Manual of the Corporation of the City of New York (also known as the Valentine's Manuals after its publisher David T. Valentine.) The Valentine views along with the other etchings in the series represent an earlier illustrated view of New York in comparison to photographs in Series I.

Series III: Stereoscopic Views presents a three-dimensional representation of early New York City architectural and social history.

Series IV: Other Media includes lantern slides, glass plate negatives, and negatives (photographs). These are likely purchased reference images.

Publication Date

ca. 1850s-1980s

Arrangement

The collection consists of nine series: Series I: Photographs; Series II: Printed Material; Series III: Stereoscopic Views; Series IV: Other Media
