Edwin Levick

Mr. Levick took these photographs of Ellis Island, America's great immigration port, between 1902 and 1913.

 Passed and waiting to be taken off Ellis Island
  
 Ready for travel and going north, south and west. Immigrants with 
baggage lined up at teller's windows marked money exchange.
