“Books are the plane and the train and the road. They are the destination and the journey. They are home.”~ Anna Quindlen Alice Boughton was one of the most important pioneer female pictorialist photographers at the turn of the century. Like her mentor Gertrude Kasebier she was a fellow of Alfred Stieglitz’s Photo Secession movement.It was a time when female photographers went out of their way to support other female photographers. Not so much a conscious movement but they all supported each other.She was a fine portraitist who specialized in literary figures and had a special gift for photographing children.I believe this to be a unique print and was so happy to have found it .
