J E Hale / Susan B Anthony Collection

PHOTO OF THE DAY. We are so convinced this is someone we've seen before. But can't quite nail it down. Any help out there?!

Interesting local history discovery. The framed artwork hangs on the wall at a new eatery in Canandaigua, N.Y. "KIX On Main". It's a hand colored painting over a photo entitled "Along the Shore of Canandaigua Lake. Canandaigua, N.Y.". The black and white photo is the original image, taken by J.E. Hale and recently uncovered in a batch of glass plate negatives we've had turned into positive images. So we have the original glass plate image which was turned into artwork at some point, by someone!. Very cool discovery!

Our talk with the Naples Library "Centuries Old Photographs". We had a great time sharing materials with this group! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZLAuynGu48

PHOTOS OF THE DAY. This past week we had the pleasure of a visit from Grant and Ariadna Romer, experts in the photography fields of conservation. Shown here we take a look at some of the beautiful backdrops that we unraveled for the first time to find them in excellent shape!
