About 85 Years Ago: Photo Postcards from America (circa 1907 to 1920)

.:Description

History's first amateur photographers lived at the beginning of the 20th century, when photography was just one of many technologies that were dramatically altering the ways people related to themselves & to others. The people who lived in America then were part of social transformations of unprecedented scale. Technology dramatically altered the way they related to themselves & to others. Here, Chien has selected 89 images, printed on postcards & left by these anonymous photographers, weaving them together with beautifully crafted text to provide a poetic sketch of their lives & changing times. Their images lead us into an America not our own -- but one that we may recognize as part of us still -- about 85 years ago.
