Lora Webb Nichols

Lora Webb Nichols lived most of her life in Encampment, Wyoming and in 1899, at the age of sixteen, Nichols began photographing the people and places around her. Lucy Davies writing in The Daily Telegraph, described her work as recording Wyoming's "inconsequential chores and rituals rather than grand events. Even so, her frank, bold pictures capture the clean-cut thrill of pioneer life, of America's hugeness and scope." This online collection showcases only 16 of the 23,000+ photographs archived.
