Rosenfeld Collection


The Rosenfeld Collection is the largest single collection of maritime photography in the world. Consisting of over 800,000 images, the Collection spans from the 1880s to 1974, and includes two generations of Rosenfeld work. Although they became famous as yachting photographers, the early work of the Rosenfelds includes assignments in the 1920s and 1930s for corporate clients such as AT&T. The Collection contains images of such subjects as steam yachts, naval vessels, powerboats racing, and leisure activities.
