Description
Chansonetta Stanley Emmons often set her subjects in domestic interiors and agricultural landscapes, arranging them in performative scenes reminiscent of 17th-century paintings. While her photographs are often described as evoking a bygone era, they also documented rural Maine life between 1898 and 1930, blending antique elements with contemporary details during a period of rapid change. This image of a farmer husking corn reflects her unique approach, combining her artistic style with historical documentation.
