History at Home: The Photography of Charles Warren Eaton, 1900 to 1925 

Historical Society of Bloomfield Trustee Rich Rockwell presents a new program on the photography of Charles Warren Eaton from 1900 to 1925. Rockwell discovered a set of over 1,000 negatives of Charles Warren Eaton’s photos of sites in Europe - Bruges, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands - scenes of canals, windmills, architecture and street scenes. Eaton lived in Bloomfield from 1887 until his death in 1937. He was known for his intimate landscapes in the Tonalist style and was particularly known for his pine tree paintings.

Rockwell digitized and curated the negatives he discovered and created a website for them: CharlesWarrenEa...
