These photographs form part of the Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Collection of English and American Literature. The collection is housed at the New York Public Library.
Personally, I love to look through content that sits outside my normal sources of inspiration – it’s surprising what strikes you, what you can gain.
Perhaps I have found a new muse or two.
