A Window Back: Photography in a Whaling Port by Whitman, Nicholas. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780932027184.

This unique portrait of New Englands yesterdays recounts the history of photography in the New Bedford area between 1845 and 1920. It describes photographic processes and the cameras used, while painting an intimate portrait of a bygone era.
