Our First Soldiers – Revolutionary War Veteran’s Images at the Mendham Township Library

On Thursday, November 12th at 7pm, join historic lecturer Michael Jesberger as he presents Our First Soldiers – Revolutionary War Veteran’s Images at the Mendham Township Library.
Images of American Patriots who fought in the Revolutionary War are exceptionally rare because few of the Patriots of 1775-1783 lived until the dawn of practical photography in the early 1840s.

Join historical lecturer and tour guide, Michael Jesberger, for a lecture discussing these early photographs – known as daguerreotypes, and are camera-original, fully-identified photographs of veterans of the American Revolutionary War.
