So his son discovered a box filled with 400 negatives, 300 odd lantern slides and almost 200 paper prints. And delivered them to alexander hollande, the photographer, who again, taking a couple of years, created an exhibition of from the negatives making beautiful prints, modern prints from the negatives and working with the curator at the museum of the city of new york to put on an exhibition called battle with the slum named for one of riis books in which these beautiful, enlarged pictures along with excerpts of riis wri ....
