Cabinet Card of Neighbors Raising A Timber Frame Barn c1900
Taken in the field by a traveling photographer is this fantastic cabinet card photo of neighbors supporting neighbors, raising a timber frame barn. Looks as if every able body man in the county came to make and raise the barn frame.
The original cabinet card has a fairly mildew stained card backing and very yellowed print, typical of many albumen photos. Sometimes the early photos defy conservation beyond scanning at 600 dpi at origiinal x/y dimensions. In this instance, I converted the original image to desaturated png at 300 dpi with minimal contrast, haze and despeckle applied. The image above is the print ready version for my Fine Art America/Pixel shop. The image below is the original.
