Description

This about blows us over! This book featuers a selection of images by Wyoming photographer Lora Webb Nichols. Nichols created and collected approximately 24,000 negatives and 65 years of diaries throughout her lifetime in the town of Encampment, Wyoming (this book is the follow up of another on her named just that - Encampment, Wyoming). In addition to the industrial and economic aspects of this sparsely populated ranching and copper mining town, Lora's images and diaries documented the lives of the girls and women within private households. Lora photographed their duties as mothers and homemakers that reveal the pleasure they experienced in simply being in each other's company.

We can't recommend this book enough. Anyone interested in history, the west, fashion will take so much away. We are personally very inspired by the photography and depictions of the sartorial culture of the time and place.
