Every once in a while, there’s photos that are so iconic or spectacular that we just can’t resist to share them even if they don’t pertain to Bergen.
This is one of those photos. This was taken in 1914. It’s the one and only Thomas Edison standing in front of the entrance that is the Holland Land Office Museum today in Batavia!
While it’s not Bergen, it’s still a spectacular piece of local history.

NEVER SEEN BEFORE PHOTO:💥
Once in awhile, we get to look into the windows of the past of everyday life over a century ago. While most photos were taken of people and places, they didn’t focus their lens too often on the everyday things. The process of photography was very slow and tedious. Exposing the lens for many seconds at a time was invested in “content worthy” subjects.
North Bergen amateur photographer, Calvin Dean was more of a “Renaissance Man”. He experimented with photography in various forms. He would often photograph still life, animals, and even dabbled in an early form of “trick photography” through negative overlay and other techniques. It’s estimated that Calvin had taken over 1000 photographs during his lifetime .

He took this photo in the spring of 1903. His cat resting on his front porch of his North Bergen home nursing her kittens. Just a simple moment in time 123 years ago….
