5.0 out of 5 stars
An impressive compilation,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Camera's Coast: Historic Images of Ship and Shore in New England (Paperback)
Compiled with brief commentaries by W. H. Bunting, "The Camera's Coast: Historic Images Of Ship And Shore In New England" is an impressive compilation of historic period photographs of the ships, communities, industries, advertisements, and people along the coastline of New England in the 19th and early 20th century. An informative introduction by John R. Stilgoe provides a useful context in which to enjoy the images and notes an old (circa 1915) color photograph of clam diggers at work in Provincetown, Massachusetts, and concludes images of the steam ship Priscilla in 1896. Perfect for nostalgic browsing with respect to an American yesteryear now gone forever under the relentless advance of technological progress and population increases, "The Camera's Coast" is a welcome addition to personal, academic, and community library American History collections - and would admirable serve as a template for similar photography histories and celebrations of other regions of the United States.
