Reflections in Pike Place Markets photos – Pages 12-30, 1968

The photographs in this collection are reprints of a selection of those found in Gee’s 1968 book, Reflections in Pike Place Markets. They were likely saved from an exhibit showcasing the book that the Seattle Public Library hosted in July 1968. Gee took the photographs between 1964 when she first visited the Market and 1966 when she returned to San Francisco. The photos are remarkable for their range and diversity, documenting people from different races and socioeconomic backgrounds in an intimate and candid manner. Folder 8 includes Gee’s author photo, used at the back of the book.
