Generally speaking, this is the kind of photo archive you want, where even the likely Type IIIs boast strong image clarity and where no image-embedded front captions are present. The collection hails from local sources like the Philadelphia Inquirer, Daily News and Evening Bulletin, as well as from the usual suspects of news-service distributors like Associated Press and International News. Copyright stampings, date stampings, paper captions, news-clipping captions and editorial notations appear throughout. Condition is typical for newsroom-used photos with moderate to heavy peripheral handling wear. The decade breakdown is as follows:
