The collection consists of 212 negatives (most film and some glass). Among the 20 negatives from around 1925 are views of Times Square at night and Walter Chrysler's home. Almost 80 negatives record the 1938 Eagle Pencil Company strike. Other assignments from the 1930s include the Housewrecker's Union strike, a women's tennis tournament, movie theater marquees, radio opera broadcasts sponsored by General Motors, and Jimmy Durante as Santa Claus. Each image has a brief caption. Edwin Levick (1868-1929) specialized in spot news and marine photography.
