Dating from the late-19th century, these halftone prints capture a New York that sadly, in many cases, no longer exists.A note on halftone prints from this collection . We are often asked what an original halftone print is? Ephemera collections, historians, and researchers are the typical consumer for original halftones like these from the New York collection. They are images produced via halftone, from photographs, for in this case, a rare book on the history of NYC. And, they are original to 1893 and not later reprints or copies. They are not acquired for tonal quality or as if they were an original photograph. Instead, they are acquired for the content of the image, which would likely otherwise not be found. In this case, they are also very small but are highly sought after from us by historical societies, researchers, and gift givers.CONDITIONThis 118+ year old Item is rated Very Fine. No aging.
