The Bert Morgan Archive's photostream  

Bert Morgan (1904-1986) began his career syndicating photographs for the Chicago Tribune and the New York Daily News. By 1930, he moved on to become a prominent high society photographer whose work was published in The Social Spectator, Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Town and Country. He covered the “Social Set” from the 1930’s through the 1980’s, as they gathered in New York, Palm Beach, Southhampton, Newport, Saratoga, Key West, Nassau, Jamaica and points in-between. He was also the official track photographer of the New York Racing Association. His son Richard Morgan (1935- ) joined him in the 1950’s and worked along side him until Bert’s death in 1986.
