According to writer Ray Rinaldi @denverpost there

According to writer Ray Rinaldi @denverpost there are two ways to appreciate the images of south-central Wyoming captured in the early 20th century by Lora Webb Nichols in our latest exhibit at CPAC.⁠
⁠
These candid black and white photographs are historic documents, but they are also rise to the level of art, making them fitting fare for a gallery dedicated to showcasing photography’s creative edges.⁠
⁠

Our latest exhibit, Lora Webb Nichols: Photographs

Our latest exhibit, Lora Webb Nichols: Photographs Made, Photographs Collected, co-curated by Nicole Jean Hill, is now open for viewing! ⁠
⁠
Lora Webb Nichols (1883-1962) created and collected approximately 24,000 negatives over the course of her lifetime in the mining town of Encampment, Wyoming. Nichols received her first camera in 1899 at the age of 16, coinciding with the rise of the region’s copper mining boom. ⁠
⁠
Given the period of time the collection spans, the isolation of the Encampment community, and Lora Webb Nichols’ gender, this collection of images is unparalleled in its historical significance and visual storytelling.⁠
⁠
Opening Reception: October 7th, 6-9pm @ CPAC⁠
In-Person Panel Talk: October 8th, 2pm @ CPAC⁠
⁠
All events are free and open to the public.⁠
⁠
