In 1888, Horace Engle captured candid street scenes of West Chester using a Stirn’s Concealed Vest Camera, offering a rare glimpse into everyday life over a century ago. In this exhibit, photographers Ashley Rogers and Thomas Neufeld recreate Engle’s original shots, blending historical vision with modern digital techniques. By replicating the distinctive “ring” effect of Engle’s glass plate negatives, their work bridges past and present, inviting viewers to explore what has changed—and what remains timeless—in the streets of West Chester.
