The photos were found in a trunk bought by two Indiana women that contained 210 vintage prints by the photographer.. The trunk is assumed to have once been the possession of Wilma Wilcox, a social worker who was Weegee’s companion and lived with him from 1957 until his death in 1968.

Enjoy this slideshow of some of the photos found on the trove.
