Berenice Abbott’s New York Stock Exchange

New York City, ‘the city that never sleeps’ as it is famously called, has been lensed by countless photographers over the years, but it is through Berenice Abbott’s documentary approach that some of the best known photographs of the city were created. Abbott, born in Ohio in 1898, is considered one of the central figures in the development of documentary style photography, and one of the crucial names in recording the architecture and citizens of New York City during the early 20th century.
