Asahel Curtis
Downtown Tacoma exhibit features prominent PaciďŹ c Northwest photographer Posted online Tues., July 21 Photo Courtesy Washington State History Museum The Washington State Historical Society and the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission plan to unveil a new exhibit in August that will feature rare images of state parks taken by the photographer Asahel Curtis. The exhibit, entitled Washington State Parks Through the Lens of Asahel Curtis, will include photographs taken by Curtis during the Great Depression and capture the early recreational use and development of Washington's state park system. Many show parks under construction by crews from federal work relief programs, such as the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Works Progress Administration. The photographs featured in the exhibit are from a unique type of media called lantern slides. Originally black and white photos, they were color-tinted by hand in Curtis's Seattle studio. The slides were recently digitized and are in the care of the State Park's Collections Program. Curtis, who was born in 1874 and died in 1941, was a prominent Pacific Northwest photographer who spent more than 40 years documenting the rapid transformation of Washington state that occurred during his lifetime. The free exhibit opens on Sat., Aug. 1, at the Washington State History Museum's Community Gallery, located at 1911 Pacific Ave., in downtown Tacoma, and runs until Sat., Oct. 31.
