Eliot Porter Dye-Transfer Photographic Prints

 Collection — Box 1-4
Identifier: ANSP-2012-056
Scope and Contents

This is a collection of color dye-transfer prints of mostly nesting studies of songbirds, largely in New England. According to Doug Wecshler, this includes some of the best early work of stop-action photography of birds at or near their nests; these were take with a 4 x 5-inch camera, which is unusual for bird photography, and represent some of the most detailed studies of birds at the nest for that time period (between the 1960s-1970s or so).

Dates: 1960s-1980s
