THE WAY WE WERE

New England Then, New England Now

Over 50 years ago, the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey commissioned
celebrated photographer Roy Stryker to photograph life in America.

Daniel Okient (editor of New Engalnd Monthly) joins his own essay on that
time before television, before suburbanization with over 150 of the best
photographs (many full page) taken in this massive effort.

The result is a stunning visual and textual reflection on New England that
reveals who we were, who we are, and what the great leap into the modern
age has cost us.

This is an alluring portrait that is a part of our history and captures the
essence of New England's heritage.

If you would like to view, the New England of the '40's and '50s this is a
piece of nostalgia that you should have!
