Historical Significance & Description
This exceptional antique photo album offers an intact, fascinating genealogical window into the turn-of-the-century Hungarian immigrant community of New Brunswick, New Jersey—historically one of the most prominent Hungarian enclaves in the United States.
The contents represent the physical journey of a family's migration. Several photos bear the coveted stamps of prominent early New Brunswick photographers, while others are rare European imports brought over from the "Old Country" before arriving in America.
Highlighted Contents Include:
• Large Format Group Portrait: A beautiful, crisp, wide-angle community shot featuring dozens of individuals arranged outside a brick building. Excellent for historical costume, uniform, and social history study.
• Mike Kállay Studio Card: Features the localized stamp "Mike Kállay - Magyar Fényképész (Hungarian Photographer), 61 French Street, New Brunswick, N.J."
• P. Nybo Studio Collection: Multiple portraits and multi-window oval cameo pages stamped from P. Nybo's celebrated historic downtown studio at Neilson & Albany Streets, New Brunswick, N.J. (Circa 1909).
• Fodor Vilmos Import Portrait: A stunning, dark-toned family portrait displaying the stamp of photographer Fodor Vilmos in Győr (Hungary).
