Throwback Thursday: Bird in a Cage
Happy #ThrowbackThursday!
A bird in a cage is sitting on top of a display of Geisler’s bird seed in this 3″ x 5″ black and white acetate negative. A sign on the birdcage reads: “Geisler’s Authoritative Bird Foods”. This image was taken for Geisler Max Bird Company, located at 113 N. 16th Street in Omaha, Nebraska.
This image is published and owned by the The Durham Museum. The William Wentworth Collection at The Durham Museum consists of 4663 negatives of images that document life in Omaha, Nebraska from 1934 through 1950. William Wentworth worked as both a freelancer and a commercial photographer, providing a unique view of architecture, businesses, and community life in Omaha.
