Author: Vogt, Jeannette (born circa 1860).
Title: Original Soft Hued Gelatin Silver Print Photograph of a Farmer Pitching Hay Into a Barn's Hayloft.
Description: Circa, [1910]. [1910]. - sc - An original soft hued 5-1/2 inch high by 7-7/8 inch wide black and white photograph by this accomplished amateur woman photographer from Upstate New York. The image depicts a farmer standing on the long flat bed of his hay wagon in front of his large barn. Hay is flying off the end of his raised pitchfork into the barn's hayloft. A handsome white draft horse is depicted in profile. The rump and legs of another white horse can be glimpsed behind the first. Shadows from the overhanging branches hint at the majestic size of the tree which casts them. There is a one and a half inch scratch at middle right of the photograph (probably in the negative) and some slight browning at top right. There are glue stains and remnants of black paper from a scrapbook to the corners of the verso. Very good.

An accomplished woman amateur photographer, Jeannette Vogt hails from Upstate New York. An illustration of her 1890s photograph of a woman photographing through a doorway is depicted in Naomi Rosenblum's book "A History of Women Photographers" (Abbeville Press 2010). The caption next to the illustration reads "Jeannette Vogt (Jean Bernard) (C. 1860 - date unknown)". The photograph illustrated in the book is from the Miller-Plummer Collection of Photography in Philadelphia. Very good .
