During the month of October, Fogler Library will host an exhibit from the Penobscot Marine Museum in Searsport. Maine Streets: selections from the Eastern Illustrating & Publishing Company, features selected prints from an extensive glass plate collection acquired by the museum in March 2007. The images are fascinating on many levels. They provide a unique glimpse of another time leaving the viewer with a sense of the continuity of place through history.
Penobscot Marine Museum archivist Kevin Johnson and Kent Ryden, director of the American and New England Studies program at USM, will give a presentation about the collection in Fogler's Special Collections department on October 7th at 3 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.
The exhibit and presentation are sponsored by the Penobscot Marine Museum, the Maine Studies Program and Fogler Library. To learn more about the collection visit: www.glassplateimages.com
Imagining the River:

To know where the big fish are, you have to know the river, you have to feel the river’s instincts. The fish are doing exactly the same thing in their way. . . . Can you see there, where the silver scales go a little darker like a narrow path, along his flank. That’s called his lateral line and with it he listens to the river.
— John Berger, To the Wedding
This event is free and open to the public.
