Summary:
Between 1892 and 1930, American photographer Edith S. Watson made repeated trips to outport Newfoundland and coastal Labrador. Along the way she explored, recorded, and compiled a treasure of vivid, dignified images of lives at the turn of the century. They provide a record of life among people who shine out of Edith's captivating photographs as independent, resourceful, and exceptional. Working the Rock is a collection of photographs from a woman who was a photojournalist before that term existed, and about her life, travels, and passion.
