William Newton's Hand-Colored Photographs of Vermont
Description
This is a collection of 46 hand-colored photographs, taken and tinted by William Alva Newton (1866-1958) of Little Valley, New York. The photographs are not dated, but the included biography suggests they were taken during Newton's employment as a traveling pocket knife salesman, between 1910 and the mid-1930s. Most photographs are scenic in nature, of Vermont's lakes, rivers, and roads. There are also two images that include the photographer in the foreground.
