anonymous presents a suite of images by an unidentified photographer culled from an archive of over 300 black-and-white 2-1/4 inch contact prints and one binder with images and negatives affixed to a dozen loose sheets. To accompany this group, Aletti has written a 1,500-word essay reflecting on their significance, placing them within the history of Times Square imagemakers and questioning the motivation of the photographer himself.
