These images are some of my favorite images from our holdings. I feel honored to have been able to make prints and scans from some of these photographs, both in anlogue and digital form.
Aside from their historic and social importance, photographically, they are beautifully done.
I agree Cecilia. It is always enjoyable to gaze upon them, thanks Billy!
