content: Photographs of people and places in Essex, Connecticut, the former shipbuilding town that Farber adopted as his home just prior to  inaugurating his second career.   These images include all of those published in 1969 in his first book Portrait of Essex---most notably churches and other historic buildings of the early nineteenth century, both interior and exteriors,  and waterfront scenes of sailors and fishermen.
