Ferdinand Demuth, father of Charles Demuth, took up photography during the 1890’s and produced both photographic prints and lantern slides. As a member of the Lancaster Camera Club, Ferdinand captured the changing landscape of the modern era in Lancaster City and the surrounding areas. The photographs on view are modern prints made from Demuth’s glass negatives that are part of the Demuth Museum’s archive collection.
