Travel back to the first days of the twentieth century, when the world of the horse carriage and black and white daguerreotypes gave way to motion pictures and then to the daybreak of direct color photography. This talk will focus on the events of the first ten years of the twentieth century and why Burlington became one of the principal places to participate in these monumental changes.
Complimentary hors d’oeuvres with a cash bar.
This event is a fundraiser for the Burlington History and Culture Center. There will be a silent auction with French and film connections.
