Snubbing. Clear that line, quick, from the series "The Camera's Story of Raftman's Life on the Wisonsin"
1886
Bennett's pioneering documentation of lumber industry life captures the dangerous work of river log drives with unprecedented immediacy. The stereo albumen print preserves both the physical demands of frontier labor and Bennett's innovative approach to action photography in an era of long exposures.
