In 2005, Ryerson University was the recipient of an extraordinary gift - the complete black and white print archive of the New York photo agency Black Star.
 

A collection of almost 300,000 photographs chronicling world events and personalities from the First World War to the nineteen-eighties the archive was, in the words of Collections Curator Peter Higdon, "the largest gift of cultural property ever made to a Canadian university."
 

In celebration of this landmark acquisition Lumiere Press presents our newest limited-edition publication.
