Treasures in Black & White: Historic Photographs of Cincinnati

Apr. 25, 2014 – Oct. 12, 2014
Mon–Sat:10 am–5 pm | Sun:11 am–6 pm

Look through the photographer’s lens and revisit Cincinnati from the outbreak of the Civil War onwards. In nearly 60 large-format photographs, Treasures showcases 100 years of Cincinnati history in still, striking black and white. From rare, early-camera images documenting the Civil War era to many subsequent scenes and events — the Great Flood of 1937, the returning heroes of the 20th-century wars, early television stars, the rising urban cityscapes of 1960 —Treasures in Black & White: Historic Photographs of Cincinnati captures the Queen City, between 1860 and 1960. It is a powerful exhibit. Visitors will be transported in time to the events, celebrities and decades that shaped this city. The Treasures photo exhibition is an extension of the Historic Photos of Cincinnati (2006), published by Cincinnati Museum Center and Turner Publishing Company, and is drawn from the photo collection at the Cincinnati History Library and Archives.
