A photographic record of turn-of-the-century Wisconsin

Michael Lesy assembles photographs made by Charles Van Schaik in Black River Falls between 1890 and 1910. Together, the images document life in a small Wisconsin town at the turn of the century, making the book a photoessay grounded in a specific place and historical period. Its subject is presented through Van Schaik’s photographs rather than a written account of the town.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in historical photography and documentary photoessays
  • Readers exploring everyday life in small-town Wisconsin around 1900
