DescriptionUntitled, 1880s-90s10 glass lantern slides
Collection of Mary Weston Di Nucci
In his early years as a photographer, Post usually made lantern slides rather than paper prints. Easier to produce than prints, slides were the preferred medium of creative photographers in the late 19th century. Camera clubs such as the Society of Amateur Photographers of New York projected slides on special screening nights, which became popular events for both the general public and contributing club members like Post.
These ten slides reveal Post's penchant for including figures in his early landscapes. The water-lily image is akin to his mature work in platinum.
