Description |
Holding down a Homestead in Washington. Sedro-Woolley, WA. 1897. The picture is of a one room cabin, built in a clearing in the forest. It is unpainted lumber, and shake shingles. The chimney is made of wood. There is a ladder leaning against a stump. There is a man, sitting on a stump, playing violin. "The Homesteaders". Shake cabin on new homestead. If eloquence, whimsey, documentation, & technical excellence have ever been combined in one photograph, perhaps the homestead fiddler qualifies. Dated 1897 from the nearly obliterated penciling on the emulsion; "D. R. Kinsey, photog, Sedro-Woolley, WN. No. 1032". From pages 96-97; Vol I "The Family Album & other early work" Book by Dave Bohn & Rodelfo Petchek, Scrimshaw Press, 1975, San Francisco. |
