How I Found Annie Powell
October 25 @ 6:30 pm
See old photos of Lowell and learn about a prolific photographer who made Lowell her home. Bernie Zelitch, founder of the By Annie Powell project, will discuss how he found the photographer Annie Powell, who photographed the streets and life of Lowell from 1891-1952. Using her photos of Lowell, Bernie will describe her signature style that he has used to identify her works. For more information on Annie Powell visit: https://byanniepowell.org
The inset photo is of Annie Powell. The house in the Lowell Highlands is where Annie Powell lived the last three years of her life. Bernie contacted the family and identified her effects in 2021, 69 years after her death at 92 in 1952.
Offered by By Annie Powell as part of the 2024 Learning Festival, coordinated by Lowell City of Learning which is a project under the fiscal sponsorship of Greater Lowell Community Foundation.
