Please visit the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford, Connecticut (only 5 minutes off the highway) to see 'The Scenic Daguerreotype in America 1840–1860.' The exhibition runs through March 22, 2026.

"The selection presented here is almost entirely drawn from the private collection of American collector Greg French, who built it over a 40-year period into probably the largest of its kind. The types of scenery captured in these beautiful outdoor views are not limited to traditional landscapes: they include store fronts, hotels, cityscapes and cemeteries; rivers, waterfalls, ships and shipyards; schools, churches, houses and backyards; landscapes, farms, factories and gold mines; but also daguerreotype studios, railroads, marching bands and more. Together, these images build the fascinating picture of a young country not yet invaded by asphalt and concrete, metal poles, wires, cell-phone towers, traffic signs and cars."

I thought this would be of interest to all those who follow this page. Also, I will have a table at the Photo Fair on Saturday, September 27, at the Hartford Marriott Downtown.
