Description
Chansonetta Stanley Emmons (1858-1937) began her career as a painter and art teacher but found her true calling in 1897 with the burgeoning art form of photography. Using the glass dry plate technology invented by her brothers, twins Freelan (FO) and Frank (FE) Stanley, Emmons documented the lives of people in rural and agricultural regions.
This image is one of several scenes Chansonetta captured of the haymaking process at the True family farm.
