Housing some 19 millions images 220 feet below ground in a former limestone quarry in Pennsylvania, the Bettmann Archive is one of America’s greatest picture libraries. Today’s gettyarchive Story shares highlights from the collection’s new finds of 2019, or follow our bio link for the full Best Of. The vintage press photographs from the Bettmann often come complete with original captions, offering a historic commentary of our changing times: “The lights have not yet winked out here! If you could take a night flight on a transcontinental plane, the shimmering lights of hundreds of cities would testify that millions of Americans are playing and working and using more electrical power than any other nation in the world. This magnificent view of Manhattan by night is characteristic.” 📷: Bettmann Archive/Getty Images | 1934 | #gettyarchive #bettmannarchive #bettmann #newyorknights #manhattannights #newyorkbynight #manhattanbynight #nightphotography #cityscape #vintagenewyork #newyorkhis...
