Keene is the largest town in Cheshire County, located in the southwest corner of New Hampshire. Cheshire County is home to Mount Monadnock, one of the most climbed mountains in the world, which used to be frequented by Thoreau and Emerson. The Keene Public Library started scanning and uploading hundreds of historical photos and postcards of Keene and surrounding Cheshire County in its collection. When we ran out of our own photos, we started working on the thousands of photos at the Historical Society of Cheshire County. All of the scanning and enhancing of the photos has been done by our extraordinary volunteer, Bob Borden. Please feel free to add information or comments.

Family in old car in front of house

    This could possibly be a 1905 Buick model C (see www.google.co.uk/search?q=Buick+1905&espv=2&tbm=i...) It looks as though the proud owner (who looks a lot like King Edward VII) has displaced the chauffeur, who looks nearly as proud in the front passenger seat. Family in the rear look very stiff (although the long exposure required in those days may have contributed). Car manufacturers could not agree on right-hand or left-hand drive in those early days until Henry Ford's Model T standardised left-hand drive for most manufacturers in North America and most other countries.

    This is a digital painting based on the above photo uploaded to the Flickr creative commons by the Keene Public Library. The painting was rendered using Corel Painter and a Wacom tablet with pressure sensitive stylus.

    Appreciate the detail of this painting in the original, larger view at:

    Corel Painter is GREAT for me, if I'm just doing an oil paint looking digital painting and it has some fantastic tools for that. I got a 12" XPPen Artist 12 2nd Generation ( www.xp-pen.com/product/1069.html ) screen drawing tablet which wokrks fine with painter.
