Wisconsin Revisited: A Rephotographic Essay

by Nicolette Bromberg

This visual celebration of Wisconsin's sesquicentennial pairs ninety-five new photos by some of the state's finest documentary photographers and photojournalists. As curator of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin's Visual Materials Archive, Nicolette Bromberg selected dozens of the most interesting photographs in the collections of the Society and then commissioned photographers to capture on film the same locations or activities. Whether portraying Main Streets, factory work, prize cows, or a busy lumber camp transformed back into quiet woodland, these photographs confirm that Wisconsin is a place of both continuity and change.
