Description

A collection of approximately 100 photographs taken by Rosalie Thorne McKenna of the town of Stonington from 1959-1978. These photographs were whittled down from the over 6000 negatives available in the Woolworth Library and Research Center. The year of publication (2018) would have marked Rollie's 100th birthday (hence the 100 pictures). 32 of the images from the book were framed and included in the exhibition. Pieces written about Rollie are included, by Robert Palm, Annie Dillard, Michelle Gemma and Francis Hills. This copy has also been signed by all members of the committee that put the Rollie McKenna project together.
