Scene at Waverly Beach


More frame (literally!) than substance, this 1909 postcard of Waverly beach, to me is an oddity.  One would think the photographer in this case would have strived for something a bit more picturesque, but evidently not.

  1. Agree with your comments ,. Thanks for sharing such an old photograph, as no one but you would provide them for those of us that care about the history of Menasha. Please keep up the great work.

  2. The scene was shot with maximum depth of field probably at >f16 to bring everything into focus. Unfortunately the lake remained overexposed. A little darkroom "dodging" could have brought it into view.
