About
Robinson Editions was born from the Jack Robinson Archive www.robinsonarchive.com. Jack Robinson (1928-1997) was an important Vogue Magazine photographer who worked as a freelance photographer in New York and the world from 1955 to 1997. He also contributed to Life, Esquire, The New York Times and other publications. He began his career in professional photography in New Orleans in 1945 where he worked for 10 years though our photographic work starts in the late 1930s. Upon his death the estate began cataloguing well over 150,000 vintage images of celebrities, fashion, landscapes, street scenes of the cities of the world, the United States, the American countryside and whatever caught his eye as he traveled on assignment and as a freelancer. The unique nature of his work has been embraced by several other archives, most importantly Getty Images and Corbis, who have represented his work since the late 1990s. This special relationship has created a partnership that allows Robinson Editions to host a vast archive of vintage photographic images some of which are shown on this site.
