Frederick B. Quimby photographic collection, 1890s
Description:
The Frederick B. Quimby Photographic Collection includes over 250 glass plate negatives from which study prints were made. These images are annotated in detail, and their pictorial quality is unusually high. The subject coverage of the collection is similar to that of the Emma Lewis Coleman Photographic Collection. Quimby documented all phases of farm life, plowing, planting, cultivating, harvesting, cidering, and hauling, set against the background of local landscape and architecture.
