DeGregario family collection of photographs
This unique series of glass lantern slides all date from the late nineteenth-century and depict eclectic subject matter including Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, High Bridge, Statue of Liberty, the Post Office formerly located in City Hall Park, and Grant’s Tomb. The collection probably originated with the New York Camera Club; all known photographers were members of the club and W. T. Colborn was a founder. It was acquired through a private donation from Mr. & Mrs. Felice DeGregario.
