Lost Inwood: The Uptown Images of Street Photographer Percy Sperr

—The Uptown Images of Street Photographer Percy Sperr–

-TUESDAY OCTOBER 3rd, 7:30PM at THE INWOOD FARM

Hope you all had a great summer.  At LOST INWOOD this month we’ll feature a fantastic collection of uptown images taken by street photographer Percy Loomis Sperr. In his heyday of the 1920s and 1930s, Sperr’s output was so prodigious (at least 30,000 images) that he’s been called  the “Official Photographer for the City of New York.”

Over the years we’ve managed to acquire a number of Sperr’s original negatives and prints, from High Bridge to Kingsbridge and beyond. On Tuesday Oct 3rd at 7:30PM at INWOOD FARM we’ll see a fantastic, high-resolution selection of Sperr’s masterful work taken around the neighborhood, just as Inwood’s urban footprint was being completed.

So please join us – Tuesday October 3rd 7:30PM at the INWOOD FARM. It’s a free presentation. Reservations are recommended.
