In the Argent Editions print, the men are wearing less-formal attire. The photographs appear to have been made on the same day, from the same camera position. Notice the similarity in shadow angles from the sun and the same position of objects within the frame.</p><br /><p>Argent Editions is very pleased to offer a photograph of such high quality and historical significance.</p>Old Pictureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12779737229347808382noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1017504711840832971.post-38064779116794219292007-10-12T03:44:00.000-04:002007-10-12T03:54:51.310-04:00Brattleboro Historical Society<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK9iVEHUS_69zN8QsX0YHAepvtD6-orl9-xoe3aEuadNRE9YQ9e41r8T0qAJTFHljCgkmIDRcE8XpwN5oGQQYkd6R04JSDFviox-Jju1OG40_9vhZfBc6z3vF9BxKqB0sk2tAWQeJMTqOO/s1600-h/image_resize_lg.php.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK9iVEHUS_69zN8QsX0YHAepvtD6-orl9-xoe3aEuadNRE9YQ9e41r8T0qAJTFHljCgkmIDRcE8XpwN5oGQQYkd6R04JSDFviox-Jju1OG40_9vhZfBc6z3vF9BxKqB0sk2tAWQeJMTqOO/s200/image_resize_lg.php.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120354060932343074" border="0" /></a>It should be no secret that I love looking through old photographs. One of the great untapped treasures is the photo collection of the <a href="http://www.brattleborohistoricalsociety.org/historic_photos/index.php">Brattleboro, VT Historical Society</a>. They've carefully scanned hundreds of glass plate negatives of the town, its people, businesses, and homes.<br /><br />The catalog is available online for browsing and the site has information on photo research, image usage rights, and other services available.<br /><br />It's my hope that as the costs associated with archiving and publishing these and other great collections of historic photographs decline, there will be more local organizations doing this work and showing off their histories too.Old Pictureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12779737229347808382noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1017504711840832971.post-50944140178348448162007-10-12T03:19:00.000-04:002007-10-12T03:37:17.935-04:00Note Cards Now Available<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPwgzDiJHmBWHqDm-QWz3IQYyIQKAMgRuruUINJ0h0L_vVNaJ-uolH9bLHLj4uRiDoAmosBUJodKiTCTa-KJiSh56r1pjE_pWDuHf8gcxeXGfgaVnuZ92UN16o8ruTg6GZBTS2t5R1qStn/s1600-h/met-building-notes-200.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPwgzDiJHmBWHqDm-QWz3IQYyIQKAMgRuruUINJ0h0L_vVNaJ-uolH9bLHLj4uRiDoAmosBUJodKiTCTa-KJiSh56r1pjE_pWDuHf8gcxeXGfgaVnuZ92UN16o8ruTg6GZBTS2t5R1qStn/s320/met-building-notes-200.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120348833957143826" border="0" /></a>After several requests for a more accessible product line, we've decided to offer note cards featuring Argent Editions photographs.<br /><br />The note cards are available in sets of 10, with envelopes, for $12.95.

This is the first one of his pictures to be available on Argent Editions. The Farm Security Administration employed many of the best photographers we've yet seen and Evans was one of them. <a href="http://argenteditions.com/cocacola-shack-p-50.html">"Coca-Cola Shack, Selma, Alabama"</a> is emblematic of the pictures Evans made for the FSA as well as of the work he did when not employed by the U.S. government.Old Pictureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12779737229347808382noreply@blogger.com0
