A Quiet Port 1900 - 1916

"A Quiet Port" is a 1900-1916 gum bichromate photograph by A. H. Stoiber. The image depicts a tranquil harbor scene, with two ships silhouetted against a cloudy sky. The soft, muted tones of the gum bichromate process create a sense of serenity, emphasizing the stillness of the water and the peaceful atmosphere. Stoiber's work often focused on capturing the beauty of natural landscapes, and this piece reflects his fascination with the subtle interplay of light and shadow. The photograph, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, is a testament to Stoiber's artistic mastery of this unique photographic technique.
