Description
[New York]: [no publisher], 1995. Near Fine. A large collection of approximately 300 color photographs documenting the 1995 New York City Gay Pride parade, with images typically depicting floats, parade marchers, banners, signs and crowds. Most images appear to be taken from the crowd. Those depicted marching in the parade come from a broad range--from local establishments such as bars or gyms and activist organizations such as GLAAD and PFLAG, or for causes such as AIDS/HIV, religious affiliations, to those marching with clever signs.Photos measure 12.5cm x 9cm. Bound in nine Qualex Photo Galaxy drugstore albums with silver card wraps printed in black, bound at top edges with clear plastic brackets. Near Fine, light wear to covers, one bracket semi-lose at top. A fantastic glimpse into mid-nineties gay culture and the issues the community was facing at the time.
