In its earliest days, Natchez, Mississippi, attracted
entrepreneurial people who saw potential for future enterprises. In
fact, by the 1850s, Natchez boasted more millionaires per capita
than any other small town in the country. This wealth, and the
energy that came along with it, created a
vibrant and bustling early environment in Natchez. The city streets
served as the stage on which the action took place, and where the
drama of real life in a young and hopeful America unfolded.
Natchez: City Streets Revisited captures through vintage
photography the images of this unique period in the cityas history.
Included are the early businesses that prospered in Natchez, as
well as the grand homes of the pioneering families who brought
prosperity to Natchez. This visual journey is possible due to the
skill, craftsmanship, and foresight of the cityas early
photographersaHenry D. Gurney, Henry C. Norman, and his son, Earl
Norman. Henry Norman trained under Gurney and went on to become
Natchezas most sought-after portrait artist. In addition to
portraiture, he photographed everyday life in Natchez, strolling
the brick sidewalks of the city to document elaborate new
storefronts and merchandise displayed on curbs. Earl Norman carried
on his fatheras tradition and continued to photograph the city and
its people in his own highly acclaimed collection.
