Anthony Angel (1906-1967) photographed New York City street scenes and buildings day after day. The work he bequeathed to the Library of Congress includes around 60,000 images that show many angles on New York City views, people in scenes of daily life, historic sites and construction sites, and much more.
These amazing photos are part of his work that Anthony Angel took street scenes of New York City in the 1950s.
