These pages represent a general, if unorganized, index to the original negatives, currently residing in the Gordon Archive, some by the renowned journalistic photographer Arthur (Usher) Fellig (Weegee). They all deal with fires and the firefighting culture of the 1930's and 1940's. The original images span the period from 1907 into the early 1940's. Many, you will recognize, have been widely published while most have faded into obscurity. They document the uncelebrated as well as the famous, the voyeuristic and the heroic. The locations are mainly in and around New York City but range as far as Chicago and Paris. Like Weegee himself, they are uniquely characteristic of their time and represent a remarkable document of that time.
