Second Oldest Photo Of Seattle On NPR
May 4th, 2008 by Cliffe | Sorted Photo Exposure | 5 Comments »
The Washington State History Museum’s Abigail Azote writes in to let us know about a KUOW feature on the second oldest photo of Seattle. It’s not quite as high-res as we’d like, but maybe that means you and I need to head to the museum to see it in person. Take it away, Abigail.
We have an exhibit on now called “Curators’ Choice” which features items selected by six of our curators as their favorite from our permanent collection. Ed Nolan, our head of Special Collections, included an old photo of Seattle in his selection. He talks about it in KUOW’s Sound Focus. You can listen here: http://www.kuow.org/defaultProgram.asp?ID=14786. He describes the photo and the many firsts that it captured.
