WEEGEE Original 8 X 10 Photo Woman at Sammy’s The Bowery 1942 Arthur Fellig

This auction is for an original 8 by 10 inch silver gelatin photograph made by noted celebrity and newspaper photographer Arthur Fellig. This one is on heavy stock paper.

This item is in excellent condition, with sharp focus and good contrast. There is no photographer’s imprint or signature, however we guarantee authenticity of this item so bid with confidence.

THIS ITEM comes from the estate of Peter Martin who was a close friend of WEEGEE and was the publisher of several photo magazines during the early 1950s. Martin’s photo studio in the Greenwich Village section of New York City was a meeting place for many famous & aspiring photographers of the time.

Of course we could be wrong, but we don’t think that photo was made in Sammy’s, or on the Bowery, or in 1942…
