Wilson A. Bentley "Vintage Photomicrographs"
Davis & Langdale Company
This event has ended.
"Vintage Photomicrographs" will consist of about fifteen vintage photomicrographs of snowflakes, frost, and dew, as well as photographs of cloud studies, taken by Wilson A. Bentley, better known as “Snowflake” Bentley.
Wilson A. Bentley coined the phrase “No two snowflakes are alike.” He grew up in Jericho, Vermont, and developed a life-long fascination for snow. His parents bought him a camera with a microscope attached with which he discovered how to photograph snowflakes. The process was difficult, made more so by the temporary nature of the subject – many snowflakes melted before Bentley could capture their images on film, making the photographs extremely rare.
