The New York Times Store
"The
New York Times Store, which offers hundreds of products -- from
books to classic photographs, reprints of vintage news to posters
-- is part of the News Services Division of The New York Times. The Times
strives to offer visitors a secure and safe environment for all
credit card purchases".
"The
Photo Archives, with about 7 million images stored and preserved
over the past century, is one of the largest and most
comprehensive collections of photographs in the world. It had its
beginnings in 1896, when photography made its first appearance in
The Times's
Illustrated Sunday Magazine with portraits of Stephen A. Douglas
and John Bell, both candidates for the presidency in 1860. The
archives grew day by day with the addition of hundreds of photos
submitted from around the world by staff photographers and photo
agencies. In 1919, the newspaper started its Times Wide World
Photos syndicate, an organization for gathering and distributing
news photos. The Times sold Wide World Photos to the Associated
Press in 1941, where it still operates. Today, the Photo Archives
grows by hundreds of rolls of film and many thousands of digital
images each week, photographed by some of the finest journalists
in the world. It continues to serve as an indispensable source of
visual history, helping to make The Times the pre-eminent
American newspaper. Several hundred historic images are now on
The New York Times Store, but it will be adding hundreds of more
photographs each year".
This is interesting and intriguing, fascinating and curious, so much so that people have been known to write in and say "Are those photos real?".
