Vishniac rarely produced contact sheets of his negatives; the few that remain were often composed of unrelated, individual frames. This rare vintage contact sheet, consisting of five individual, unrelated Leica negative strips, depicts a wide range of locations and subject matter, from the remote, snow-covered Carpathian mountain village to the bustling commercial activity of the Jewish district of Warsaw (only one city, Bratislava, appears on two strips). It also provides a glimpse of the thousands of negatives in the archive that have yet to be printed or published.
