In fact, if you click on that photo, you'll go to its web page and see the link options on the lower right.
Having content shareable is what we all want. Nice to see NYPL actually doing it. I don't know who is the person behind this (perhaps Josh Greenberg), but whomever it is deserves "two thumbs up".

It would be even better if all the images were acquired and displayed correctly.
"Mr. Friedman and the library subsequently never agreed on terms, although the library has at times claimed to hold the copyright on his pictures, charging fees to users."

Thanks for noticing this! The best thing about offering embed codes is that enabling this kind of reuse is good for both users and the institution...it reduces friction for users, and makes it more likely that they'll link back to us in a structured way rather than just downloading and re-uploading the image file (in the process severing the connection with NYPL as a collecting institution).
