Night in Memphis

Night in MEMPHIS 1911

This small book of Memphis photos was published in 1911 by Newcomb Publishing Company of New York and Memphis. It features very rare photos of the city all aglow at night and it must have been very impressive in 1911. This is the first time these photos have appeared on the internet.

< Sincere thanks to George Whitworth, Memphis Attorney-Historian, for allowing us to scan and post his book
