Cities

The real places the games were traced from, photographed when they were themselves. Miami in 1986, Los Angeles and San Francisco and Las Vegas in the early nineties, New York across a century, and London. This is the largest part of the archive and the reason is a rights fact rather than an editorial one: almost no image of the games is freely licensed, and the cities are extensively documented in every era.
