Lundin's Brooklyn
Story
In the middle of the 20th century, Wigorot Lundin began making prints of the New York Transit Authority's survey negative. Taken in the 1910s and 20s, the photos show a city in transition, expanding with the advent of new technology. Lundin's Brooklyn sheds light on disparate parts of a borough, some bustling with modernity, while others border on the agrarian.
