Closer Still: Jesse Alexander

One of the nation’s foremost resources for car enthusiasts, Revs Institute recently acquired, digitized and preserved the Jesse Alexander Photograph Collection. The premier motorsports photographer of the latter half of the 20th century, he encapsulated the high-speed, high-intensity moments, personalities and notorious racing vehicles of the day. Now, more than 1,700 original signed prints and myriad photographic negatives are on view through season. After its stay at Revs’ Library in Naples, the collection will move to its permanent home at the recently opened, advanced Archive and Research Center in Fort Myers.
