Svenson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJust as the new technology of photography was emerging throughout the United States in the mid-nineteenth century, it caught hold in the scenic Adirondack region of upstate New York. Young men and a few women began to experiment with cameras as a way to earn their livings with local portrait work. From photographing individuals, some expanded their subject matter to include families and groups, homes, streetscapes, landmarks, workplaces, and important events—from town celebrations to presidential visits, train wrecks, floods, and fires. These photographers from within and just beyond the park’s borders, as well as those based in the urban areas from which tourists came to the Adirondacks, have been central in defining the region. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eAdirondack Photographers, 1850–1950\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a comprehensive look at the first one hundred years of photography through the lives of those who captured this unique rural region of New York State.
