Eleanor Parke Custis
Fog, Gloucester vintage photography

c. 1935

About the Item

A haunting and unusual photograph by one of America's earlier female photographers - First Lady of Pictorialism - Eleanor Parke Custis. Probably taken in the Gloucester, Mass environs which is where she was from. This image is important in her body of work. By the mid-1930s Custis was devoting all of her time to photography, traveling throughout Europe as well as North and South America, all the while refining her technique of printing her photographs to maximize their artistic elements. Vintage print - from her estate. Photograph itself measures 16 3/4 x 13 3/4 inches. In Fog, while living in Gloucester MA, Custis has taken advantage of her discovery of a shipwreck on the foggy banks of a rocky outcropping. Custis manipulated the image to emulate athmosperic impressionist painting.
