Charles Warren Eaton's Photographs of Europe

Charles Warren Eaton was a renowned artist and photographer who lived in Bloomfield from 1888 until his death in 1925. On his travels to Europe, he photographed cities in Belgium, France, Italy, Switzerland and Germany. The Historical Society was fortunate to have the negatives of his photographs donated to us. I created a separate site of his photographs of Europe. We include a preview of some of his best photos in our Photo Gallery. To see the full set of photos, visit CharlesWarrenEaton.org
