Ice Storm | Late 1800s Metal Print with Historic Wood Stand

We are passionately committed to preserving, and sharing, New England's amazing images and historic narratives. This commitment has been an active passion for decades and spans across all manner of regional artifacts. One area of this focus has been the preservation, cleaning (carefully) and digitization of historic glass negatives. In many ways we saw these wonderful and cultural captures as photographic orphans - disconnected from their original printed creation- often boxed in stacks and thrust into an inglorious attic or barn archive. The thrill is finding unique, interesting compositions that reflect the subtle, point in time activity, now lost or forgotten, of a bygone era. Each year we will create a series of beautiful items based on a select set of negatives from NESB's archive. We titled this stunning image "Ice Storm" which was taken in Lynn Massachusetts in the late 1880s/early 1890s. after the streetscape and elms were encased in ice via one of the area's winter storms.  Th
