Label TextAt the turn-of-the-century, Worcester was photographed from many angles, as shown here in works by Frederick Coulson, architect Stephen Earle, and an anonymous photographer, likely a local resident who printed on silk. Most notable of this group is Coulson’s photograph of a gallery here at the Worcester Art Museum, one of the first known interior photographs of the museum. These cyanotypes allow the viewer to travel back into Worcester’s history, showing familiar places through the lens of a different era.ProvenanceMrs. Pierrina Rohde, Worcester, MAOn View
