Description
This exhibition examined the role photography played in both constructing and challenging the popular tourist image of Maine and the image of life in Maine in the early twentieth century using three collections at USM: The Detroit Publishing photographs from the 1900s–1920s, the Farm Security Administration’s photographs from 1935–1941, and an African-American Photographic Album of Maine, c. 1949–50. Curated by USM professors Donna Cassidy and Libby Bischof.
