Vintage Black and White

  • Black and white photography was dominant for over 100 years with prints made from its original large format negatives revealing superior detail and tonal range. Yet despite the advent of color photography in the 1970s, the art of black and white photography has not disappeared and remains the choice of many photographers for its clarity and artistic control. 
  • Alfred Watson (1916-2002), whose photographs of the Great Depression, World War II, and Early Farm Life were exhibited worldwide and won numerous awards was one of the best, and his historic images of the 1930s’ and 40s continue to provide us with a powerful view America’s early years.
