Summer Vacation Redux #6: Kansas City: Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, part 3.2 of 9

After visiting the special exhibition "Dignity vs. Despair" at the photography galleries of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, you are treated to a brief, but rich, survey of the museum's general collection of Photographs.


I will begin works from the general collection of photos with a couple of images from previous total solar eclipses.
 "View of the Great Solar Eclipse" 1869, John Adams Whipple (American) 1822 - 1891
 "Solar Eclipse" 1925, Lewis P. Tabor (American) 1900 - 1974
 "Profile Portrait of Frederick Douglass" circa 1858, unknown photographer
 "Youth with Staff" 1906, F. Holland Day (American) 1846 - 1933
 "Backdrop circa 1940's" 1998, Lorna Simpson (American) 1961 -
 "Paul Cadmus" 1941, George Platt Lynes (American) 1907 - 1955
