Welcome Back!
All of us here at Drawing From the Archives hope our readers enjoyed the Halloween festivities of last weekend! We’re back today with our second round of blog posts, again focusing on six individual cities; some closer to home than others. The theme we’re working with this week is photography. Our goal is to bring your attention to the qualities, conditions and experiences of living in cities of the 19th and early 20th centuries. We’ve chosen a diverse set of themes for this week’s blog posts, we hope you enjoy stepping back in time with us discovering the cities of the past.
Before we let you explore the latest additions, can we firstly applaud the amateur and professional photographers whose works we will be using in our blogs this week. We admire their tenacity and devotion to charting the life of a changing city, chronicling minor to major events, places, people, objects etc.
One last thing, in case you missed it, we also added some ePubs of our blogs earlier this week. Please keep an eye on our Twitter page for updates and hints about cities being discussed in our next blog due November 28th.
As the saying goes curiosity killed the cat…but satisfaction brought it back.
On that note we hope you all enjoy this week’s entries and please don’t hesitate to comment below or contact us.
Aoife, Jennifer, Katie O, Donna, Katie M and Pierre.
To start off this week’s blog Donna will be examining our first case study city; New York City.
