File:La Caravelle dining room 2004.jpg


 * Places like the Stork Club, El Morocco and similar venues encouraged press photos of the notable persons who were guests. The Stork Club had a photographer on its payroll who took photos and distributed copies of celebrity guests to the print media.  La Caravelle presented itself as a place for fine French cuisine, presumably somewhere where notable people could dine without disturbance.


 * The restaurant closed its doors in 2004, with the Jammets opting not to sell the business and to instead focus on their wines and champagnes produced under the La Caravelle name. Regardless of whether photos of the restaurant's interior were taken by the New York Times or someone else, they are only of historic value.  This photo was published in 2004 in an obituary for one of its former chefs and owners.  The NYT will not suffer any loss of circulation for this educational and informational use of the photo, nor will the Jammets either lose or gain business for their long-shuttered restaurant.
