NEW YORK , NEW YORK

1893 - 2003

THE KNAPPS LIVED & WORKED HERE

 

43 Park Place

This seemed to be the soul surviving 19th Century building on the block where once upon a time in 1879 these gentleman gathered just diagonally across the street.

 

THE ENTIRE STAFF OF MAJOR & KNAPP

At what appears to be a loading dock circa 1879 at 52 Park Place we find

Mr. Major & Mr. Knapp (in vests) with their employees . I think that is newest employee

flyboy and future printing super salesman , 16 year old Joseph Palmer Knapp on the right!

 

HEY WHERE IS EVERYONE?........I GUESS I'M A LITTLE TOO LATE....BUT

Here I Am! standing in the approximate spot the M&K gang stood in the good old days

It's still a loading area But One Thing They Didn't have in the good old days was

PHOTO SHOP!

GET A LOAD OF THIS!!

 

WHAT A GROUP OF PRINTERS DEVILS!

Especially Milt The Guy On My Left (your right) Always With The Litho Jokes

"How many Lithographers Does It Take To Put An Issue Of Police Gazette To Bed?"
