Great Lake Maritime Project The state of Wisconsin
has a proud and colorful history. One of its richest and
most romantic chapters is its maritime history, staged
on the waters of Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, on
hundreds of smaller lakes and a whole network of rivers.
Much of that fascinating story has been captured in
photography and art and this material brings to the
public eye some of its highlights.

Taylor Brothers Photographs (Adams County, Wisc.)
The photographic images in this collection were taken
by the Taylor Brothers photographic studio of Adams
County, Wisconsin, circa 1910-1930. In 2001, Murphy
Library, UW-La Crosse received the collection as a
donation from a private estate. There were 665 glass
plate photographic negatives in the donation. Most of
the negatives have multiple images on them so there are
actually 934 separate photographs. The physical
condition of the glass plates was generally high
resulting in crisp images with striking detail and
clarity. |
