A Gallery for Fine Photography


This impressive gallery usually has prints such as William Henry Jackson’s early-20th-century views of New Orleans and EJ Bellocq’s rare images of Storyville prostitutes, made from the photographers’ original glass plates. The gallery also regularly features Herman Leonard’s shots of Duke Ellington and other jazz legends, as well as the occasional Cartier-Bresson enlargement (available at second-mortgage prices).
