The guys on the bridge - amazing. In fact, every one of these photos looks fantastic:

Great find Rob - love the guy on the bridge with the view through the metal framework - fantastic stuff

It's amazing how sharp those shots are considering when they were taken. As a historian, I really appreciate seeing them, as well. Nice!

Excellent. Thanks for posting this Rob. Like Chirs I really like the one of the guys standing in the framework of the Brooklyn Bridge. However, I think that one of Grand Central Station with the great shafts of light beaming in is my fav. It makes me realize why I love film so much.

Stunning set of images. I have seen similar in eateries like Frankie and Benny's, Chilli's but no where near as good as these.

I agree with all the comments - so many great shots, and they have thousands more. Hopefully they will all go online eventually, though I expect we are seeing a ''best of''.
