Nineteenth-century Maine – famed for its lumbering, shipbuilding, and seafaring – has attracted copious attention from historians, but early twentieth-century Maine has not. Maine on Glass corrects this imbalance with 190 postcard photos and three of Maine's foremost historians. Join authors W.H. Bunting, Kevin Johnson, and Earle G. Shettleworth Jr. in a discussion about the powerful images selected from 22,000 glass plate negatives created by the Eastern company between 1909 and World War II. As an archive of early twentieth-century Maine architectural photography, the Eastern collection (now housed at the Penobscot Marine Museum) has no equal, and it gives us many unexpected glimpses of Maine life.
