The George Eastman Museum is located in Rochester, New York, on the estate of George Eastman, the pioneer of popular photography and motion picture film. Founded in 1947 as an independent nonprofit institution, it is the world’s oldest photography museum and one of the oldest film archives. The museum holds unparalleled collections—encompassing several million objects—in the fields of photography, cinema, and photographic and cinematographic technology, and photographically illustrated books. The institution is also a longtime leader in film preservation and photographic conservation. There is always something new and different to engage, educate, or entertain you at the Eastman Museum:

    She's a very attractive young woman. I can see she wanted to make a proper impression to the viewer.

    That's another one of those little houses that went down to the water's edge, so the ladies could change & enter the water in modesty. Only this one is for Royalty!! I could LIVE in that comfortably, I think-

  • Larry D Nelson said:
    This is one of the MOST unique pics I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. How unique, how interesting, how beautyful this would have been in color. I'd look at it as a dream home. Wow! to be sitting on the front porch while your house moves to the waterfront then when the tide comes in you back away from the ocean. I would only wish the gods produce such a place to live in!

  • lyndell23 said:
    I wonder - was she a widow - and the portrait she holds is of her husband?? You find this in old paintings - from the 1600s and 1700s in particular - family portraits including a member of the family who had recently died via a portrait being held by someone - or on a table ...
