The Library of Congress item record states: "No known restrictions on publication." Collection: Toni Frissell Collection, Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division. Call number: LC-F905-02794 [item] [P&P]. Reproduction number: LC-DIG-tofr-02794 (digital file from original).

The Library of Congress titles this color photograph “Fulton Fish Market, Brooklyn Bridge” and dates it October 1954. It is from the same Toni Frissell test roll, made with a 125 mm telescopic lens, as the other frame filed here.

The frame shows two men on a pier with a steel-towered suspension bridge behind them; the Library’s title names the Brooklyn Bridge, and this page does not identify the bridge from the image. No market activity is visible, so the title is the only link to the Fulton Fish Market. This page uses it as a location illustration only and makes no claim about the market’s operation or control. The men are not identified.
