History of Family Photography Paul J Hamel

The History of Family Photographyfeatures a collection of hundreds of photos taken over a century. The photos spotlight two French Canadian immigrant families, the Hamels and the Landrys, of Rhode Island. Topics include a short history of family photography, the origins of the photos and the people in them what they wore, where they lived, where they worked, what transportation they used, the kind of pets they had, family resemblances, and some candid moments.
