Series II. Other Exhibition Photographs, circa 1933, inclusive
Scope and Contents
The series includes five oversize photographic prints and one oversize photo montage by Edward Steichen. All are listed below. The date of "circa 1933" is used in the list for the photographs; this is based on the date of the Chicago exposition and the approximate date of the prints but the depicted images would have been photographed at earlier, uncertain dates.
Conditions Governing Access
The photographs in the series are fragile, oversize, and held in specialized storage. Consequently the objects are restricted, and access requires permission from and special arrangements with the N-YHS curator and conservator. Permission will be granted only in the most exceptional circumstances, and a fee for the cost of special handling may be required. In-lieu of physical access, a digital image of each print taken by Tremont Auctions in June 2017 is available on request from N-YHS using the filename shown in the container list. A more extensive list of related images are available through Tremont Auction's website.
