New York
Vintage color photos of New York from the 1950s to the 1980s, capturing both New York City and locations across New York State during the post-war and late-20th-century decades. Taken on color film, these images document streets, buildings, transport, and everyday life in one of the most varied and influential regions of the United States.
This collection includes scenes from New York City alongside towns, cities, and landscapes across the wider state, showing urban centers, commercial streets, neighborhoods, infrastructure, and public spaces. From dense city streets to regional communities beyond the metropolitan area, the photographs preserve a detailed visual record of New York as it appeared during a period of major social, economic, and urban change.
All images are available as high-resolution, royalty-free digital downloads suitable for editorial, commercial, or personal use.
