Abstract:

Bayard Wootten, born in New Bern in 1875, is one of the state's most famous photographers. A portrait photographer in her early days, she later traveled across the South, photographing the effect of the Great Depression, people of Appalachia and the Ozarks, landscapes, and architecture. Today Wootten's work is in the North Carolina Collection at UNC-Chapel Hill's Wilson Library. It is the largest photography collection there - taking up a twenty-foot row of bookshelves.
