Editor’s Note (4)
Back in this installment of Now and Then New York, I tried my hand at matching this wonderful 1897 creation by Alfred Stieglitz called “The Glow of Night”:

You can find it in his seminal portfolio Picturesque Bits of New York and Other Studies (1897). Recently, untappedcities.com gave me the chance to expand on my original entry and explore how publisher R.H. Russell imbued the print of Stieglitz’s photo with its particular yellow sheen. If you get the chance, please check out my piece here:

And many thanks to untappescities.com for publishing my work!
