I went all old-school and hunted down Ade's book to hand-scan the illustrations... It wasn't at Hunter and I live on Long Island (*gasp*, Long Island, woe is me) so I had to make a trip to C.W. Post but it was worth it, I think, because it was published in 1931 and is illustrated.
I did a rudimentary crop of the original scans on GIMP but I didn't account for file size or image dimensions which might become relevant when the editors upload to Omeka.
Also, the first scan has a list of all the illustrations + credits the artist/source. Editors will need that info for Omeka.
Not all the images will be relevant but I thought they were all awesome. I also scanned the original text and will upload the pdf to google drive shortly. Writers can skim through the original context to see what will work.

The text focues on American Saloon Culture not necessarily specific to NY but the images could be useful anyway.
