H. Bunting. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780884481898.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese extraordinary collections of photographs and narrative captions have wide appeal to anyone interested in Maines past. Spend an afternoon with either volume of A Days Work, and youll make discoveries that will change how you look at Maines passing scene. Bunting has a knack for spotting the unusual in a photograph, or some minor detail that, in fact, tells a major story about the how and why. From granite quarry operations to an itinerant cobbler in a sailing scow to hootchie cootchie dancers at the state fair to deepwater ships, his page-long captions place these images in social and economic context but this is not dry history. His research has uncovered a wealth of fascinating, often quirky detail (did you know that mummy wrappings were imported from Egypt for Maine papermaking?), and he makes frequent forays into the Maine storytelling tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tilbury House Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44987131822133,"sku":"ByrdShop_0884481891","price":318.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780884481898_dab04f59-b4dc-4a79-924a-553af1121a64.jpg?v=1778630707","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-days-work-a-sampler-of-historic-maine-photographs-18601920-part-i-9780884481898","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
