All the photographs in the video are the work of photographer, Morris Huberland (1909—2003). Mr. Huberland’s family immigrated from Poland to New York City’s Lower East Side in 1920. In 1940, he joined New York’s Photo League, citing Eliot Elisofon’s lectures on photojournalism as influential to his artistic approach. In the 1950’s he took numerous photographs in various NYC neighborhoods, labeling them, “Girl Gang.” Mr. Huberland continued to exhibit work into the 20th and 21st centuries at various New York City institutions, including: the Museum of Modern Art, the International Center of Photography, the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, and the Jewish Museum. Additionally, his photographs often accompanied articles published in The New York Times.
The Morris Huberland photographs compiled for this video are from The Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Photography Collection, courtesy of The New York Public Library’s Digital Collection.
