About This Book
"Picturing Utopia: Bertha Shambaugh and the Amana Photographers brings together a collection of photographs along with the stories of the photographers who took them. Together the pictures and text fill in an untold chapter of American photographic history and provide an insider's view of life in the Amana Colonies.".
"The photographs, preserved on glass plate negatives, provide an unbroken photographic record beginning with Shambaugh's work in the 1890s - with its clear social mission of telling the world about a kinder way of life - and continuing through the colonies transition to mainstream American life with the Great Change in 1932."--BOOK JACKET.
