The Granger Collection forms partnership with the Museum of the City of New York

Cavernous skylines, classic cars, design innovations, and lifestyles of the wealthy and working class are some of the New York scenes now available at The Granger Collection, New York, N.Y., through a new partnership with the Museum of the City of New York. The photographs span from the Gilded Age at the turn of the 20th century, through the days of Art Deco, to the 1940s. Further installments from the Museum of the City of New York’s collection are to come in the following months.

“These photographs depict New York through a curious and idiosyncratic perspective,” says Lila Dlaboha, managing director of The Granger Collection. “You’ll see the bejeweled skylines and legendary landmarks, of course, but most of the images take place at street level, where the pulse of the city beats hardest.”
