Sonatas XII-50 (Life)

Solomon Juneau’s old homestead - he cofounded Milwaukee you know -
He settled in Dodge County, where he founded Theresa and watched it grow.
Juneau, Wisconsin, is named for his son; his cousin founded Alaska’s Juneau
Many of the places he founded or loved bear family names; rightly so.

Solomon Juneau, founder of Theresa, Wisconsin, and cofounder of Milwaukee, left us this nice little homestead in the center of town. The Juneau family got around – Juneau in Dodge County, and Juneau, Alaska are named after family members. The photo was taken in August of 2019 with Pentax 67 medium format SLR equipped with a 105 mm f/2.4 SMC Pentax 67 lens on Ilford HP4+ film. The negative was enlarged optically with a Beseler 23CIIXL enlarger and a 100 mm f/5.6 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.
