Description
Colorized photo from 1936 June
Original title: Fulton street fish market
Photographer: Berenice Abbott
Location: Fulton Street
The original was a hazy photograph on a print with an orange peel texture, that looked photographed and not scanned. So it had contrast issues and dust, and that weird texture.
Everything in this photos with the exception of a few sky scrapers is gone. Though that building on the corner is still there.
I thought it was weird that considering how famous this place is, there were practically no color pictures, postcards or whatever. I did find one shot from the 1940's, and I thought this building would be red, it was actually shades of brown.
