Romanian shepherd - ca. 1906

In galeria digitala a New York Public Library exista o colectie a lui William Williams (1862-1947) adunata de acesta in perioada in care lucra comisioar pentru imigratie la Ellis Island Immigration Station din New York, in 1902-1905 si 1909-1913. Colectia contine 97 de imagini realizate in intervalul 1906-1914. Sunt atat fotografii de ansamblu, exterioare si interioare, cat si portrete ale imigrantilor inregistrati acolo. Portretele au fost realizate de Augustus Francis Sherman (1865-1925), un fotogaf amator ce a profitat de functia director al arhivei pe care o avea la centrul de imigrare. Printre cei fotografiati se afla si portretele a sase romani imbracati in porturi populare. O parte dintre imagini au fost publicate si in National Geographic in 1909.
