Soon after entering the USA in 1888, Joseph Byron, who was born in London, began to make his own way with press photos. In 1892 he opened the New York City Photo Studio in Manhattan with his son Percy Claude. While Joseph Byron specialized in taking pictures of theatre scenes, Percy Claude established himself as a naval photographer, especially with shots of large ocean liners and ship crews. He received an official commission for pictures of the maiden voyage of the passenger steamer "Normandy", 1935.
Both father and son convincingly documented the atmosphere of the metropolis New York with their photographs. As visual witnesses of the period around the turn of the century up to the early 1940s, they reflected the life and culture of the metropolis in a unique way. Alongside and in their preferred subjects, they are pictures of people of all kinds and occupations, Protagonists of everyday life in all its diversity, which come together in this photographic work like a mosaic. This also includes portraits of prominent representatives of public life in private interiors or outside them.
But the room itself is also a theme. It ranges from the workshop workplace to the silhouette of the New York skyline. One of these spectacular photos shows an aerial view of City Hall and the Post Office. From a distance or up close: It is the immediacy, the snapshot and the realistic scene that makes these photos so credible.
