That NYC public library gallery is one of the coolest things on the 'net. Plus the pictures can be used how ever you like, freebies that is.

Thanks for the very cool info, Thom. That picture's clarity is amazing. I bet the negative was huge.

It's so cool I've got that sucker bookmarked. 🙂

Very Cool Site ... Time to go smoke a CAO Black for now ... thanks for sharing.

My mistake. These are not necessarily freebies, as I stated earlier.

Thom beat me to it RickMaven...that's the site. I posted a "Cigar History 3..." as well...the caption on that one is pretty fascinating I thought. It should still be on page 1 of the photo forum.

About the NY Public Library digital image collection...
There are over two hundred thousand individual items now and growing, for many collections are still in production and/or development. The goal is half a million images and more, though they will still represent but a fraction of the Research Libraries' overall visual holdings.

Great pics, keep em comin.
