- Bunting, W. H. THE CAMERA’S COAST – Historic Images of Ship and Shore in New England. Historic New England. 2006. 144p. 252 B&W photographs and color illustrations. With an Introduction by John R. Stilgoe. The Camera’s Coast: Historic Images of Ship and Shore in New England is a wonderful collection of historic photographs, paired with a rich assortment of ephemera—the subtle colors of an old postcard, the seductive details of an advertisement, a gay poster—engagingly captioned by W. H. Bunting. This page-by-page panorama of New England coastal activity from the late-nineteenth to the early twentieth centuries ranges from the ordinary to the extraordinary, from leisure and recreation to hard work. The imagery is mostly bygone but still strongly connected to our present-day landscape. Begun several years ago as a traveling Historic New England exhibition of photographs with informative captions by guest curator and maritime historian Bunting, he brings these vintage photographs to life with their stories – a captivating account. In this beautifully designed book, additional images from Historic New England’s diverse collection of ephemera have been carefully selected by the editors to augment the photographs and to flesh out Bunting’s stories. Wonderful gift or reference. (M). $29.95.
