He traveled a rail circuit through North Carolina\, Virginia\, and West Virginia making photographs on glass plate negatives. Magnum used a variety of equipment during his career ranging from the “Penny Picture” camera which produced images the size of a penny to a Cirkut panorama camera capable of producing images 8″X 40″ without enlargement. \nMangum photographs are distinctive for the level of comfort exhibited by his subjects in front of the camera. Though the south of his era was marked by disenfranchisement\, segregation and inequality\, Mangum’s multiple-image\, glass plate negatives reveal the open-door policy of his studio and an artistic freshness unusual for the time period. \nAfter his death\, many of Mangum’s glass plate negatives were lost for almost fifty years\, stored in the tobacco pack house in Durham\, where he built his first darkroom. Fortunately the images that did survive – from more than 900 plates – were salvaged and moved to the Duke Special Collections Library\, where they were scanned and made digitally available. \nIn Where We Find Ourselves: The Photographs of Hugh Mangum\, 1897–1922\, some of the pictures have been scanned and enlarged using digital technology and printed in full color\, something unimaginable in Mangum’s time. The deterioration of the negatives caused by the ravages of time and the elements are preserved in the images and to see them in large scale underscores the magical story of their survival and lends a distinctive sense of modernity to the photographs. \n  \nExhibition Details\nWhere We Find Ourselves: The Photographs of Hugh Mangum\, 1897–1922 \nOn view April 9 – June 12\, 2022 \nMuseum of Art – DeLand \n100 N.
