Once the German newspaper, “Dodge County Pionier” became the “Mayville News”
It was published for more than one hundred years.
The print works were replaced years ago; modernized, easier it’s clear -
In the twenty-first century it’s moved away from here.

The Dodge County Pionier offices, previously the Mayville (Wisconsin) News. Local newspapers still hang on…. The photo was taken in January of 2018 with a Minolta XG1(n) 35 mm SLR equipped with a 50 mm f/1.7 Minolta MD lens on Ilford HP4+ film. The negative was enlarged optically with a Beseler 23CIIXL enlarger and a 50 mm f/2.8 Schneider Componon-S lens on Ilford Multigrade FB Classic Double Weight Fiber Base silver gelatin photo paper. Processing was done archivally using Kodak chemistry, with a final toning with Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner, treated with hypo clearing agent, and washed in an archival washer.

All aspects of this print were handled in an authentic, pre-digital manner. Archival processing will ensure the maximum life span for this print.

This print (1/25) on 8” x 10” paper is available for purchase, mounted or unmounted. Please contact me if interested. Thank You.
