| The Occupations Collection consists of thousands of posed and
candid photographs of men, women and children at work. Crafts-persons,
peddlers, factory workers, shopkeepers, salespeople, farmers,
miners, explorers, almost all trades are represented in classic
and unusual poses. As time and technology advances various occupations
disappear. The collection is especially rich in iconic images
of bygone occupations i.e.. town criers, coal sorters, etc. The
advance degree professional occupations such as science, medicine,
religion, law, teaching, etc. are documented in their own separate
categories. |
