From 1906 to 1934, Eugene de Salignac shot over 20,000 stunning 8x10-inch glass-plate negatives of New York City. Michael Lorenzini, senior photographer at the New York City Department of Records/Municipal Archives, has put together a collection of these images called New York Rises, which will accompany a traveling exhibition. Mr. Lorenzini joins us along with Mr. de Salignac's great granddaughter Michelle Preston.
