Multiple exposure photograph of an eclipse on June 30, 1954.
 
“Sun and Moon in Their Big Act Over Broadway New York
Here is how the eclipse of the sun was seen in New York this morning when the shadow of the moon blotted out 74 per cent of old sol. These progressive phases of
the eclipse were made all on one negative. The 19 phases were made five minutes apart beginning at 6:25 a.m. (EDT) when the sun first managed to penetrate the
film of clouds that veiled the earlier phase of the operation. The last exposure was made at 8 a.m. a moment after the last speck of the moon's shadow passed from the face of the sun. The Chrysler Building is in center background and the Empire State Building at right. The photo was made from the roof of the Hotel Governor Clinton.”
 
Arthur Sasse (1908-1975) was an American UPI photographer, best known for his 1951 photograph of Albert Einstein sticking his tongue out.
