About the Photos

Our holdings include hundreds of glass and film negatives/transparencies that we've scanned ourselves; in addition, many other photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs) in the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) They are adjusted, restored and reworked by your webmaster in accordance with his aesthetic sensibilities before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here. All of these images (including "derivative works") are protected by copyright laws of the United States and other jurisdictions and may not be sold, reproduced or otherwise used for commercial purposes without permission.

Balcony Overlooking Art Deco

Another shot from this photo session shows more of the location, as well as more of the dress she made, hat she wore, and that this event was formal enough that she wore gloves.
When I see her again, in July 2018, I will ask her if she remembers where this was. Theater? Department store? Art museum?

But where?

One of the New York Shorpsters must know where this is.
