Photographs from The Edward Deming Andrews Memorial Shaker Collection
|
In addition to imprints and manuscripts, The Edward Deming Andrews Memorial Shaker Collection includes about 1,200 different images of the Shaker religious sect. At least fifteen Shaker communities located in eight states are represented. Although the photographs depict more than a century of Shaker life, most date from a fifty-year span of time beginning around 1880. The overwhelming number of images are in black and white, and a high percentage of the portraits are formal studies taken either in a photographer's studio or on a site at or near a Shaker community.
