The photographs in the collection featured here were taken approximately 100 years ago in Wilcox County, Alabama by a local photographer and artist, Edith Morgan. In later years Marian Furman was privileged to professionally copy this collection. Since then it has been her dream to make these photos available to be seen and appreciated by others. Marian Furman is a professional photographer in rural Alabama where she has lived all her life. She is a homemaker, wife, mother, and grandmother. Her interest in photography began over 50 years ago when her father provided her with a twin lens Rolleiflex camera and set up a small darkroom for her. For some years she operated a portrait studio but maintained her interest in fine art black and white photography and darkroom techniques. Through the years she has collected old photographs that capture the history of the old south. Marian and her husband of 51 years live in the old home that has been in her family for more than 100 years. They have ten grown children and twenty seven grandchildren. Marian enjoys travel to far flung, uncharted parts of the globe, always with camera in hand. |
