October 18-21, 2007
The Americas Society
New York, New York

In the 1950s, Thurman F. (Jack) Naylor began collecting cameras, images, photographic technology, and associated ephemera. Mr. Naylor traversed the world on a quest to acquire an unprecedented selection of artifacts representing the entire history of photography. Over the course of more than 50 years he amassed many thousands of items, a collection that Smithsonian Magazine has described as "indisputably the most comprehensive . . . in the world."
