Description:

This unique portrait of New England's yesterdays recounts the history of photography in the New Bedford area between 1845 and 1920. It describes photographic processes and the cameras used, while painting an intimate portrait of a bygone era. A Window Back portrays the working waterfront, factory interiors, farms, cityscapes, and people at leisure. Sail aboard wooden ships persuing whales and exploring the seas; visit the blacksmiths and coopers on the waterfront.
