Image Info

This lantern slide of an idyllic orchard scene with cows grazing, captured by Chansonetta Stanley Emmons, exemplifies her deep interest in rural landscapes during the early 20th century. A native of Kingfield, Maine, Emmons traveled extensively with her daughter to document rural life, using photography to preserve these tranquil scenes.

Beyond capturing these images, Emmons and her daughter shared their work through popular slide lectures, using hand-colored lantern slides to bring the beauty of rural New England into public view.
