Megan Pinette to speak on photographers of Belfast

Belfast Historical Society President Megan Pinette will give a PowerPoint presentation “The Photographers of Belfast” at 7 p.m. Monday, April 26, at the Belfast Library’s Abbott Room.

Photography was a very robust business in Belfast from the early 1840s to the mid-20th century and many photographers had studios in the downtown. Examples from the extensive Belfast Museum photograph collection will be shown. Some of the photographers who will be highlighted are Henry L. Kilgore, William C. Tuttle, Edward N. Wight, Charles Coombs, M. A. Cook and Walter Dickey.

Program meetings, which are free and open to the public, are held at 7 p.m. the fourth Monday of the month April through October. For information about programs and membership, visit belfastmuseum.org.
