In the mid 1800s Iowa City, along with the rest of the state and
nation, saw a boom in commercial studio photography. Portrait painters
were often early adopters of the new equipment and tools and brought
photographs within the reach of average families. See rare
daguerreotypes, original photography equipment, and images of early
Iowa residents in this exhibit. "Faces of Iowa through the Early Lens"
draws on the collections of the State Historical Society of Iowa and
local historical societies throughout the state The exhibit will run
from September 29, 2017 - May 20, 2018. Individuals with disabilities
are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa-sponsored events. If
you are a person who requires an accommodation in order to participate
in this program, please contact the Old Capitol Museum in advance at
(319) 335-0548.
