 Friedman Fine Art's selection of financial trading-related old Chicago pictures includes interior and exterior images of various Chicago financial institutions throughout history, as well as work-day images of people working as floor traders and stock specialists. Historic black and white financial trading photos from many other institutions, such as the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve, are also represented.

Friedman Fine Art's black and white financial trading photos are unmatched both in the range of the collection and for their historical importance to trading and finance. As the origin point for contemporary commodities exchanges, Chicago has been historically and remains the world's center of commodities exchanges. Chicago is presently home to commodities exchanges the Chicago Board of Trade, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME Group), the U.S. Futures Exchange and the Chicago Climate Exchange. The old Chicago pictures of the collection show more than a century's worth of the buildings home to the worldwide financial exchanges, and the actual trade of commodities such as meats, grains and energy, and derivative products such as futures and spot prices.

These black and white financial trading photos show the evolution of the financial institutions throughout history. The Chicago Board of Trade is the oldest futures and options exchange in the world, having been created in 1848 (recently merged with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and collectively referred to as the CME Group). While the Chicago Board of Trade has been housed in the same building since 1930, Friedman Fine Art's collection has images of some of the exchange's previous buildings before that as well as construction of its current home. The collection also includes old Chicago pictures of the Chicago Stock Exchange, the Chicago Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange and Wall Street. Friedman Fine Art offers the most comprehensive collection of financial and trading photographs currently available. Images include Chicago Board of Trade, Federal Reserve, Chicago Stock Exchange, Chicago Mercantile Exchange and New York Stock Exchange traders.
