September 10, 2019–January 5, 2020 A 19th-century prosthetics
workshop, a jazz club featured in the Green Book, and a
Polish-American car dealership are vastly different BUSINESSES, but
owners and workers at all three turned to PHOTOGRAPHY TO PORTRAY
THEMSELVES AND THEIR WORK. Open for BUSINESS: PHOTOGRAPHY, TRADE, and
Self-IMAGE, 1870–1950, a student-curated exhibit at Winterthur
Museum, Garden, & Library, examines how PHOTOGRAPHY HELPED SMALL
BUSINESS OWNERS TO ADVERTISE AND REPRESENT THEIR SHOPS, goods, and
workers. Visitors will encounter historic photographs and objects and
explore how entrepreneurship and PHOTOGRAPHY WERE INTERTWINED. By
partnering with the Delaware Historical Society, Open for
BUSINESS also showcases local BUSINESS HISTORIES, including popular
20th-century WILMINGTON locales such as The Spot Café, Elsie’s
Chicken, and Federal Bakery. The exhibit includes personal interviews
and crowdsourced photographs in addition to more than 30 objects from
the Winterthur and Delaware Historical Society collections. It will be
on view in the Winterthur Galleries. Photo credit: Save + Google
