Title
The Cities on the Saco : A Pictorial History
Description
A photo-history of the cities of the Saco River Valley in southern Maine. A heavily researched and crafted exhibition of landscapes from colonization to contemporary times, 'The Cities on the Saco' weaves a storytelling tapestry of Saco, Biddeford, and the Old Orchard regions that should be held dearly by their diverse coastal communities. From the text: "Here are the many scenes which our ancestors saw but, equally important, the images (economic, social, political) which Saco, Biddeford, and Old Orchard became. Here one catches the beauty of stately mansions and churches as a counterpoint to some of the more squalid social and industrial conditions in which lower classes lived. The spirit of the times, whether rural in the early two centuries or urban during the past hundred years, may be found here, too.... Not only is this a collection of enormously insightful photographs, it is the first comprehensive local history in a hundred years..."
