This is actually a work photo, but I thought my fellow photographers would think it was cool. I'm writing a story about the Brewster Historical Society's new exhibit, "Brewster in Black and White." It's an exhibit of photographs from the turn of the 20th century "Caro Dugan Collection." Here archivist Teresa Lamperti is holding up one of the glass plate photo negatives. It is a completely fascinating collection of photos of my hometown and the people who lived here at the turn of the century. Anyone interested in seeing some of the prints can visit www.brewsterhistoricalsociety.org.
Thanks Trina, Paula and Keith. I was so impressed by those glass plates. And the photos really are gorgeous. I'm pretty sure I will buy a print of one for my house. I think "White Lady," the figurehead a sea captain reclaimed from his ship Imperial and planted in the dunes by his house is my favorite.
Oh wow how cool I've never seen one of these. Thanks for sharing! What facinating captures of history! Is the photo titled "Higgins Farm Windmill" part of your heritage Laurie?
The ships are pretty, but I really like the photos of the people. Love all the clothes at the bath houses, lol (: And the ship masters...they look totally intimidating with those hats!
Thank you to those who checked out the photo exhibit! Higgins is an old Cape name, so I get asked that all the time, but we're not related that we know of. I love the photos of the people too.
