Dear Friend of History,
 
The attached flyer describes an important upcoming event to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 remembered in part for Francis Scott Key who wrote our "Star Spangled Banner, but also for Capt. James Lawrence, naval hero of the War of 1812" who, as a boy,  learned to love ships and the sea while growing up in Perth Amboy, NJ.
 
You are cordially invited to attend this outstanding event celebrating with all of the important historic museums and sites in the City of Perth Amboy. Please note to attend you must RSVP! Please share this with your friends and contacts.

19th-Century Somerset County Photographers

Of the approximately 3,000 photographers who were active in New Jersey before 1900, a number lived or worked in Somerset County.

In a public slide lecture at the Mary Jacobs Library, Gary D. Saretzky will profile these pioneers and discuss them within the larger context of nineteenth-century New Jersey photography.  The photographers documented the people and places of their times, but they also captured insights into the social conditions of their era.

Among the photographers to be discussed are William A. Apgar (active 1876-1892), Columbus S. Gernert (active 1898-1913), and Edward T. Kelley (1868-1885), all three based in Somerville.

The program is FREE, but reservations are requested.

For more information and to register, call (609) 924-7073, or send an email request to: Meredith Hoyer, mhoyer@sclibnj.org
