RARE 1946 Original Photo ARTHUR F. WEEGEE Man Sleeps on Window
The Great WEEGEE !

A RARE, Vintage 1946 ORIGINAL Photograph taken by Weegee (1899-1968), one of the most famous of all photojournalist who was renowned for his stark black and white street photography. Weegee (the pseudonym of Arthur Fellig) worked in the Lower East Side of New York City as a press photographer during the 1930s and ’40s. He developed his signature style by following the city’s emergency services and documenting their activity. Much of his work depicted unflinchingly realistic scenes of urban life, crime, injury and death. Here Weegee captures a striking image of a man sleeping in a bank window near Times Square. This is a RARE and highly desirable period original issued by Acme Newspictures, the news service agency who employed the master photographer during ands shortly after the War years. Original press stamp and caption with date are on the reverse of this 7″ x 9″ photograph of with superb contrast and razor sharp clarity.

True vintage period works (those issued at the time) by Weegee and are highly sought after. This is an exceptional exemplar worthy of the finest of photographic galleries !

Of course wee could be wrong, but wee think this was one of a set of prints produced by Acme (obviously not printed by Weegee) and used to promote the book “Weegee’s People.”
