Abstract:
Credited as the first woman to produce aerial shots, Bayard Wootten also produced innovative work in her pictures of blacks, rural areas, and people from lower classes. Reproductions of over 130 of her photographs are contained in Jerry Cotten’s biography Light and Air. More proof that the memory of her contributions has receded, but not vanished, is on display at University of North Carolina’s Wilson Library, Pack Memorial Library, and Western Carolina University’s Penland School of Crafts collection.
