Rachel Carson: A Visionary Remembered in Photographs

SWG and the Rachel Carson Council
The Exhibit showed from June 3, 2007 – November 1, 2007

The exhibition honors the forty-fifth anniversary of the first publication of Silent Spring in the New Yorker and will remain up until the end of October. The June 16th program will feature a lecture by Priscilla Coit Murphy, author of What a Book Can Do: The Publication and Reception of “Silent Spring” and an authority on Carson’s ideas and the controversy they precipitated. A collaborative effort by SWG and the Rachel Carson Council, the show consists of rare photographs of the scientist, including several by Life Magazine’s noted photographer, Alfred Eisenstaedt, and other memorabilia.
