Rural Landscape Near Nashua, New Hampshire, September 1938 - 35mm Negative

This 1938 negative captures a quiet rural scene near Nashua, New Hampshire - tall grass, a stand of trees, and a wooded ridgeline - photographed a few years before the outbreak of World War II. Part of a larger collection of 'stateside' negatives, images like this document everyday home-front life and landscapes that stood in stark contrast to the overseas scenes the same photographer would later capture during wartime service.
