From NYC in the Sixties by Klaus Lehnartz (1978)

Pictures hold something truly special—a speck of time that once was and shall never be again. They’re the closest thing we have to a time machine, allowing us to glimpse through a window of film and into the past.

The city has undergone some major changes since the Roaring '20s. RIP old Penn Station.

Captured here is one of the few remaining pedestrian bridges left in New York. This one here is found in a narrow alley in TriBeCa, it is a remainder of what old New York used to be like. This is one image in a series I am creating that captures every aspect of New York City through various urban scenes and night shots. From classic skylines, to famous landmarks and local neighborhood details, my goal is to capture every different aspect and angle of NYC. All images are printed on high quality luster photo paper and are signed by the photographer. The image will be shipped in a protective shipping envelope with a cardboard backing to prevent bending. The final image will not be water marked. This image is available in a rectangular format (8 by 12 and 12 by 18) as well as the standard (8 by 10 and 11 by 14) sizes. Please be aware there may be a difference in the crop depending on which size is ordered.

Rebecca Lepkoff can’t picture putting her camera down — and she’s been shooting the city for 72 years now. “Of course I still take pictures,” says the 96-year-old shut…

We are on our way back home to England, stopping in New York and travelling home by ship to Southampton.

For 54 years, railroad passengers would enter New York City in a triumphant and stately Pennsylvania Station. In the ’60s, it was razed. Here’s why.

Travel back in time to see what New York City looked like the year you were born in these old vintage photos.

These brilliant photos were taken by Hans Joachim Jacobi and scanned by his son Michael. They travelled to NYC as a stopover on the way to and from Halifax in Nova Scotia to visit relatives. Hans was using a Exakta Varex IIa, an East-German camera, using Agfa CT18 film. These photos are courtesy of Hans Joachim Jacobi’s … Continue reading "New York City in all its Neon-Lit Glory, 1969 – 1971"

An inspiring print with the Singer Building in the background. When it was opened to the public in 1908, the Singer Building at 149 Broadway held the record, however briefly, as the tallest skyscraper in the world. Sixty years later, it had the honor of setting a more enduring record – as the world’s largest skyscraper ever to be peacefully demolished. Too bad because this was a beautiful building!

All photo sizes are printed with at least a quarter inch border. Larger sizes may have a slightly larger border (up to a 1/2") which is taped to the back of a mat board.

For unique framing ideas, please visit my Pinterest Store at https://www.pinterest.com/HistoricalPixPrints/photo-framing-ideas/. Hours are spent cleaning each picture using professional software. This includes removing dust, scratches and optimizing the exposure for printing while enhancing the original details. Please note that different sizes have different aspect ratios which means your photo may be cropped a little differently depending on the size. If you are looking for a specific photo, or customization, please let me know and I may be able to provide it for you. All prints come with a 1/4" border for matting purposes. If you want a full bleed (your photo to go from end to end), please convo me after ordering). I ship quickly and safely - large prints will arrive in a rigid mail tube.

New York City 1979. Manhattan - West Side

Ahead, see what New York was like during the Jazz Age, from old Ebbets Field to the height of Prohibition.

On the streets after a New York blizzard, 1899. (x)

Kids today might find this hard to believe, but there really was a period in time when smartphones didn't exist. But how did they entertain themselves?. How did they survive without instant and constant access to hilarious videos of cats being cats and people failing at stuff?

Twitter lit up with wows Thursday morning as this handsome photograph of Broadway and Franklin Street in Manhattan circa 1850 got passed around. According to one source, it’s “believed to be the earliest photograph taken of New York City.” That would be cool—if it were true.

Once he photographed New York City’s disintegrating West Side Elevated Highway in May 1979, German-born tourist PetersHagen took a troll around other parts of the city. Like Peter Marshall, he took photos of the everyday, the stuff you walked past all the time but never thought to photograph. Some scenes appear mundane. We see flyers … Continue reading "New York In May 1979 – Photographing The Everyday"
