Sometimes old photographs fade, losing detail but becoming more artful than a regular picture. This is a great example; we lose the detail of the anglers' faces on this photo ca. 1910 of a canoe fishing trip across Lake Hopatcong, but instead we get a silhouette depiction that is very evocative. It's one of my favorite images from this era.
