Catalogue Note
This large-format photogravure was made for a planned, but unrealized, portfolio of the photographer’s images of New York City, to be called Fifty Prints of New York. The print offered here was signed, dated, and inscribed by Stieglitz to his close friend Dorothy Norman in the year before he died.
