Old Fish Photograph Collection Continues to Grow

Now that’s a lot of people in a small boat! Makes kayak fishing seem practical, doesn’t it?

Be it photography, or be it fish, I do not know, but these photographs and their time capsule of history continue to intrigue me.

These three don’t have much in the way of identifying marks on the back, with the exception of the 1916, which says, “Winstead’s Quality Kodak Finishing, Htuchinson, Kansas.” What’s a Kodak, I wonder?

THE NEW COLOSSUS by Emma Lazarus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
