The remarkable Allen sisters of Deerfield, Massachusetts, Frances (1854-1941) and Mary (1859-1941), overcame challenges presented by their gender, progressive deafness, and rural isolation to earn international recognition as two of America's foremost women photographers. Working within the Deerfield Arts and Crafts Movement, the Allen sisters created exquisite photographs for turn-of-the-century exhibitions and publications. Their compelling, idealized photographs of country scenes, romanticized figure and child studies, and exquisite landscapes of New England, Great Britain, and California, have now been painstakingly catalogued and celebrated in this book. Based largely on new or long-unseen material, this meticulously researched and well-written biography is accompanied by 100 tritone plates and 40 duotone images. (from Einstein Catalog).
