Glimpses of Norfolk
Reprint of 1900 edition

Marie Kendall’s Glimpses of Norfolk (1900) is a 40-page booklet of photogravures which features her pictures of the town at the turn of the 20th century. Buttermilk Falls, Tobey Pond, and farm scenes are interspersed with collages of buildings such as the Norfolk Library and the Eldridge Gymnasium.
